Calculate Vector Integral $\vec{V_2}$

In summary, the integral $\displaystyle \int\sqrt{4x^2+1}\ dx$ can be evaluated by using the substitution $u=2x$, giving the new integral $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\int\sqrt{u^2+1}\ du$. Using the formula $\displaystyle \int\sqrt{u^2+a^2}\ du=\frac{1}{2}\left[\frac{u}{2}\sqrt{u^2+a^2}+\frac{a^2}{2}\ln\left|u+\sqrt{u^2+a^2}\right|\right]$, the final solution is obtained by substituting $u=2x$ and $

\begin{align*}\displaystyle
\vec{V_2}
&=\int_0^3 \left[\left(
\frac{4}{\sqrt{1+t}}\right){I}-\left(7t^2 \right){j}
+\left(\frac{14t}{\left(1+t^2 \right)^2}\right){k}\right] dt \\
&=\left[\int_0^3
\frac{4}{\sqrt{1+t}}

-\left[\int_0^3 7t^2 dt\right] {j}
+\left[
\int_0^3\frac{14t}{\left(1+t^2 \right)^2}\, dt
\right]{k}
\end{align*}

Just seeing if going in the right direction

&=16i-52j-\frac{7}{10}k
\end{align*}

ok I made ? somewhere because the answer is supposed to be
$$8i-63j+\frac{63}{10}k$$

First integral: \(\displaystyle 8 ~ \sqrt{ t + 1}\) over the limits is \(\displaystyle 8\sqrt{4} - 8 \sqrt{1}\). You didn't subtract the last term.

Second integral: You didn't integrate, you took a derivative!

Third integral: You did the same thing as the first. Remember to subtract!

Don't you just hate that the editor automatically changes you "i" to "I"?
(I had to go back and correct that first "i".)

i don't get any auto-capping of a single i in my posts...

$\textsf{Evaluate the Integral:}$
\begin{align*}\displaystyle
\vec{V_2}
&=\int_0^3 \left[\left[
\frac{4}{\sqrt{1+t}}\right]\textbf{i}-\left[7t^2 \right]\textbf{j}
+\left[\frac{14t}{\left[1+t^2 \right]^2}\right]\textbf{k}\right] dt \\
&=\left[\int_0^3
\frac{4}{\sqrt{1+t}}dt \right] \textbf{i}
-7\left[\int_0^3 t^2 dt\right] \textbf{j}
+14\left[\int_0^3\frac{t}{\left[1+t^2 \right]^2}\, dt \right]\textbf{k}\\
&=8[\sqrt{t+1}]
\Biggr|_0^3\textbf{i}
-7\left[\frac{t^3}{3}\right]
\Biggr|_0^3\textbf{j}
-14\left[\frac{1}{2\left[t^2+1\right]}\right]
\Biggr|_0^3\textbf{k}\\
&=[16-8]\textbf{i}-[7][9]\textbf{j}+7\left[\frac{9}{10}\right]\textbf{k}\\
&=8\textbf{i}-63\textbf{j}+\frac{63}{10}\textbf{k}
\end{align*}

OK hosed off the errors
hopefully

why isn't "\vec{}" on the select menu.

or was the vector crowd considered outcasts?

Under the "Geometry" section you can find the vector choices:

Re: 13.2.2 vector integral

$\displaystyle \int\sqrt{4x^2+1}\ dx$
$u=2x\therefore\frac{1}{2}du=dx $
$a=1$
$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} \int\sqrt{u^2+a^2}\ du$
$\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}\left[\frac{u}{2}\sqrt{u^2+a^2} +
\frac{a^2}{2}\ln\left| u+\sqrt{u^2+a^2}\right| \right]$
then back plug $u$ and $a$

sorry thot this was a new post
but is this correct?
 

FAQ: Calculate Vector Integral $\vec{V_2}$

What is a vector integral?

A vector integral is an integral that is performed on a vector field, which is a function that assigns a vector to each point in a given space. It is used to calculate the total vector quantity, such as displacement or force, over a specific region or along a specific path.

What is the difference between a scalar and vector integral?

A scalar integral is performed on a scalar field, which assigns a single value to each point in a given space. This results in a single numerical value as the output. A vector integral, on the other hand, is performed on a vector field and results in a vector quantity as the output.

How do you calculate a vector integral?

To calculate a vector integral, you first need to determine the limits of integration, which define the region or path over which the integral is being performed. Then, you must evaluate the integral using appropriate mathematical methods, such as the fundamental theorem of calculus or integration by parts.

What is the significance of a vector integral in science?

A vector integral is significant in science because it allows us to calculate and analyze vector quantities, which are prevalent in many fields such as physics, engineering, and mathematics. It enables us to understand and model complex systems, such as fluid flow or electromagnetic fields, by breaking them down into smaller, more manageable parts.

Can you give an example of a real-world application of a vector integral?

One example of a real-world application of a vector integral is in calculating the net force on an object by integrating the force vector field over its surface. This is commonly used in aerodynamics to understand the lift and drag forces acting on an airplane wing. Another example is using vector integrals to calculate the work done by a varying force on an object, which is important in studying the motion and energy of systems.
