If ∫(-2 to 5) f'(x) dx = -5, ∫(2 to 5) f(x) dx = 16, and ∫(-2 to 5) g(x) dx = 4, find the following integrals: 1. ∫(-2 to 2) f(x) dx 2. ∫(-2 to 5) [g(x) + 3] dx

Solution

Let's solve these integrals step-by-step, based on the information provided.

Given Information

  1. 25f(x)dx=5\int_{-2}^{5} f'(x) \, dx = -5
  2. 25f(x)dx=16\int_{2}^{5} f(x) \, dx = 16
  3. 25g(x)dx=4\int_{-2}^{5} g(x) \, dx = 4

We need to find:

  1. 22f(x)dx\int_{-2}^{2} f(x) \, dx
  2. 25[g(x)+3]dx\int_{-2}^{5} [g(x) + 3] \, dx

Solution

Part 1: 22f(x)dx\int_{-2}^{2} f(x) \, dx

We can use the information about 25f(x)dx\int_{2}^{5} f(x) \, dx and the property that: 25f(x)dx=22f(x)dx+25f(x)dx\int_{-2}^{5} f(x) \, dx = \int_{-2}^{2} f(x) \, dx + \int_{2}^{5} f(x) \, dx However, 25f(x)dx\int_{-2}^{5} f(x) \, dx is not given directly. We are only given 25f(x)dx=5\int_{-2}^{5} f'(x) \, dx = -5.

Using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: 25f(x)dx=f(5)f(2)=5\int_{-2}^{5} f'(x) \, dx = f(5) - f(-2) = -5

Since we don't have the values of f(5)f(5) and f(2)f(-2), we cannot proceed with this integral based on the given data.

Part 2: 25[g(x)+3]dx\int_{-2}^{5} [g(x) + 3] \, dx

Using the linearity of integration, we can separate the integral as follows: 25[g(x)+3]dx=25g(x)dx+253dx\int_{-2}^{5} [g(x) + 3] \, dx = \int_{-2}^{5} g(x) \, dx + \int_{-2}^{5} 3 \, dx

We already know that 25g(x)dx=4\int_{-2}^{5} g(x) \, dx = 4.

Now, calculate 253dx\int_{-2}^{5} 3 \, dx: 253dx=3×(5(2))=3×7=21\int_{-2}^{5} 3 \, dx = 3 \times (5 - (-2)) = 3 \times 7 = 21

Thus: 25[g(x)+3]dx=4+21=25\int_{-2}^{5} [g(x) + 3] \, dx = 4 + 21 = 25

Answers

  1. 22f(x)dx\int_{-2}^{2} f(x) \, dx (Cannot be determined with the given information)
  2. 25[g(x)+3]dx=25\int_{-2}^{5} [g(x) + 3] \, dx = 25

Would you like further details on any of these steps, or do you have any other questions?

Here are five related questions for further practice:

  1. How would you solve if given abf(x)dx\int_{a}^{b} f(x) \, dx and cdf(x)dx\int_{c}^{d} f(x) \, dx but needed adf(x)dx\int_{a}^{d} f(x) \, dx?
  2. What is the significance of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus in solving these types of integrals?
  3. How can you determine 25f(x)dx\int_{-2}^{5} f(x) \, dx if only partial interval values are known?
  4. How would you evaluate 25h(x)dx\int_{-2}^{5} h(x) \, dx if given multiple functions to combine within the integral?
  5. Can we always separate a function's integral into parts like [g(x)+c]dx\int [g(x) + c] \, dx?

Tip: When breaking down integrals over intervals, always consider any given values across sub-intervals or derivative relations.
