Help bail me out! (of calculus)
    #19255485 - 12/10/13 01:41 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

I've been ill for a few days, is my current excuse for waiting till the day before the test to try out the practice test.

I don't know where else to turn, and school (and tutoring center) is closed due to snow, shit.

I'm hoping someone here will be able to lead me in the right direction.

<img style="max-width:640px;" src="https://proxy.mind-media.com/proxy.php?url=https%3A%2F%2Fproxy.mind-media.co%3Cwbr%3Em%2Fproxy.php%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fdl%3Cwbr%3E.dropboxusercontent.com%252Fu%252F50%3Cwbr%3E778677%252FScreenshot%252520-%25252012%3Cwbr%3E102013%252520-%25252003%25253A26%25253A1%3Cwbr%3E8%252520PM.png">

I'm just having a bit of trouble integrating something like 1/(x^4+2x^2+1). This kind of problem might not be on the test but I can't be sure. Help!

Make a fetal position and remember to tuck in your head, hands, and legs in as you begin to fall.

Speak for yourself man, there are plenty of very intelligent people on this forum that are "Druggies and stoners" and are still really interested in science and math. You in Calc 2? I haven't solved a problem like this in over a year, I'm taking linear algebra right now. I know there are two or three methods for revolving a solid, the shell and the disc. I'm currently taking care of some work right now but checkout khan academy, very helpful

https://www.khanacademy.org/math/calculus/solid_revolution_topic/solid_of_revolution/v/solid-of-revolution---part-2

If I'm still up in a couple hours and ya need help I'll be on, but I got an exam real early tomorrow morning that I'm cramming for right now haha

Good luck man

first you need to understand how the method works, it takes little cylindrical onion slices and finds the area of each slice, and adds them up using integration.

ok so now we have what we need to know, it helps if you draw out what you want to integrate and see if its with respect to x or y.

2*pi*r*h*dx is the area of one of those cylindrical slices

r=x since the radius along the x axis is x (rotated around y axis)

in this case, it would be y since its easier that way.

so integrate 2*pi*r*h*dx

r would be x, and h would be y but to integrate it properly you would need it in terms of x hence your function.


i took calculus two years ago so i don't really remember it that well. but you should be able to solve it using www.wolframalpha.com

2*pi*r = circumference
h = height
dx = distance between each slice

we multiply circumference and height, we get the area of revolution. then we integrate it with respect to x to fill out the area with the little dx slices.

im not a good teacher :sad:

Sorry man, didn't mean to come off as an asshole. Just bugs me when people find out that I smoke and do drugs and instantly assume I'm not intelligent or hardworking because of it. Just a bad stereotype that seems to be constantly perpetuated by closed minded individuals

Yeah, like I smoke weed everyday, but I'm a full time college student, work 30+ hours a week, looking for a second part time job, active in several volunteer groups at my school... but literally every time people tell me "Dude don't smoke, it will make you lazy"

Just integrate, find the average value of y, then pi R square that shit.

This looks like the way to do it to me too.  First set it up as described, then use partial fraction decomposition.  Note that what you are attempting to integrate is not correct.  If you set it up correctly then the integral is easier.

Ain't that a bitch. Drives me nuts when a major test worth lots of points is only a few questions long. Do you at least get points for each step of the problem , so even if you get it wrong you'll credit for what you did right?
