Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the integral ∫ from 0 to 5 of dx/√(3)(2 - x).

Solution

The image you uploaded shows an example of solving an integral using substitution.

The problem is to evaluate the following integral: 05dx2x3\int_0^5 \frac{dx}{\sqrt[3]{2 - x}}

The substitution method is used here. The substitution is: u=2xdu=dxu = 2 - x \quad \Rightarrow \quad du = -dx

This transforms the integral into: 05duu1/3-\int_0^5 \frac{du}{u^{1/3}}
