Math Problem Statement

Calculate the internal , assuming that internal 5,0 f(x)dx=5. What is internal 5,0 (f(x)-5x)dx

Solution

To solve the problem, we can use the linearity property of definite integrals, which allows us to separate the integral into two parts. The problem is given as:

Given 05f(x)dx=5\text{Given } \int_{0}^{5} f(x) \, dx = 5

We need to calculate:

05(f(x)5x)dx\int_{0}^{5} \left(f(x) - 5x\right) \, dx

This can be split into two integrals:

05(f(x)5x)dx=05f(x)dx055xdx\int_{0}^{5} \left(f(x) - 5x\right) \, dx = \int_{0}^{5} f(x) \, dx - \int_{0}^{5} 5x \, dx

We already know that:

05f(x)dx=5\int_{0}^{5} f(x) \, dx = 5

Now, we calculate the second integral:

055xdx\int_{0}^{5} 5x \, dx

The integral of 5x5x with respect to xx is:

5xdx=5x22\int 5x \, dx = \frac{5x^2}{2}

Now, evaluate this definite integral from 0 to 5:

055xdx=[5x22]05=5(5)225(0)22=5×252=1252=62.5\int_{0}^{5} 5x \, dx = \left[\frac{5x^2}{2}\right]_{0}^{5} = \frac{5(5)^2}{2} - \frac{5(0)^2}{2} = \frac{5 \times 25}{2} = \frac{125}{2} = 62.5

Finally, subtract this result from the first integral:

05(f(x)5x)dx=562.5=57.5\int_{0}^{5} \left(f(x) - 5x\right) \, dx = 5 - 62.5 = -57.5

So, the value of the integral is:

05(f(x)5x)dx=57.5\int_{0}^{5} \left(f(x) - 5x\right) \, dx = -57.5
