ok hickman i need some major help!! i need help on all the ones with the trig. functions and all the last ones that deal with velocity and acceleration. but lets start with 31.squiggle(2sinx+3cosx)dx. how do u un-derive that??

Matt Hickman said...

What derives to give you sine? What derives to give you cosine?

Unknown said...

cos and -sin but how do u do it with a coefficient with it bc if u just write 2cosx that doesnt derive to 2sinx??

Matt Hickman said...

Remember that you can move coefficients outside the integral so int(2sinx) = 2*int(sinx) = 2*(-cosx) = -2cosx.

Matt Hickman said...

Still need help on the velocity & acceleration problems?

Unknown said...

umm ok i think i might can do those...but yea what about the other ones?

Matt Hickman said...

The key thing to remember is that the velocity function, v(t), is the derivative of the position function (x(t), s(t), h(t), etc.) and that the acceleration function, a(t), is the derivative of the velocity function, v(t)
