    Solving the Integral ∫dx/(1-x)

    I solved the integral by two different methods and I get different answers. Method 1: ∫dx/(1-x) = -∫-dx/(1-x), u=1-x, du=-dx ∫dx/(1-x) = -∫du/u = -ln|u| = -ln|1-x| Method 2: ∫-dx/(x-1) = -∫dx/(x-1), u=x-1, du=dx ∫-dx/(x-1) = -∫du/u = -ln|u| = -ln|x-1| What am I doing wrong?

    Integral for the calculation of torque

    Hello, I found an integral to calculate the torque from the applied torsional shear stress, and I didn't find an explanation of how this integral is deviated. Where does it come from? Could someone explain? T = ∫τ⋅r⋅dA = ∫τ⋅2πr⋅dr, where T is the torque and τ the shear stress. Thanks a lot!

    Trigonometric definite integral of 1/(4-sqrt(x))

    Does it look like I'm doing this double integral correctly?

    are the boundaries of integration correct? i split the domain in two as follows -2<=x<=0 , -(4-x^2)^(1/2)<y<=x+2 and 0<=x<=2 -(4-x^2)^(1/2)<=y<=(4-x^2)^(1/2)

    I want to understand where the minus 1 in the first line in the RHS term comes from. I assume the little apostrophe means taking a derivative. But the antiderivative of x^(n-1) is (1/n)x^n. Why the -1? thank you

    I Why the integral of a complex exponential can't be equal to zero?

If you integrate from ##x = m2\pi/a## to ##x = n2\pi/a## where ##m## and ##n## are any two integers, the integral equals zero.

    Line integral around a circle centered at the origin

Then I solved it by the hit and convert it as any...
