Math Problem Statement
The question is in blue and the answer is in black is the answer right
Solution
Let me analyze the solution written and verify if the answer is correct.
The question is:
Steps to verify:
-
Distribute across the terms inside the parentheses:
-
Simplify the powers of :
So the integral becomes:
-
Combine like terms:
-
Integrate term by term:
-
For :
-
For :

Combine the results:
Now, compare with the solution written in the image:
- The image shows partial steps and an attempt to integrate each term, but the coefficients for and are not properly simplified or combined.
Conclusion: The provided solution in the image is incomplete and partially correct. It does not properly simplify the coefficients, nor does it include a constant of integration , which is essential in indefinite integrals.
If you need clarification or further steps detailed, let me know!
Here are five related questions to enhance your understanding:
- Why is it important to add a constant in an indefinite integral?
- What are the common mistakes when simplifying powers of during integration?
- How can you double-check your work when integrating terms with fractional exponents?
- What techniques are useful for integrating terms involving ?
- How do you handle definite integrals differently from indefinite ones?
Tip: Always simplify your expressions completely before integrating to avoid errors in coefficients!
