Math Problem Statement

cant u do the integrals using the method where u subtract the ones with t fro mthe ones with 0

Solution

It sounds like you might be referring to the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (FTC), where we compute definite integrals by evaluating the antiderivative at the upper and lower limits of integration, and then subtracting the values.

For example, given a function f(x)f(x) and its antiderivative F(x)F(x), the definite integral from aa to bb is:

abf(x)dx=F(b)F(a)\int_a^b f(x) \, dx = F(b) - F(a)

In some cases, like with improper integrals or integrals involving limits (i.e., where one or both of the limits are infinite), you may calculate the integral by first evaluating the antiderivative at a specific point (like tt) and then subtracting the corresponding value at the lower limit (or zero). This is often seen when evaluating limits like:

limt0+0tf(x)dx\lim_{t \to 0^+} \int_0^t f(x) \, dx

Would you like to dive deeper into a specific example or type of integral using this method? Feel free to share the integral you're working on.

Tip: Remember that the antiderivative is key to using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus—always check if you can simplify your function first, to make finding the antiderivative easier.
