In summary, a calculational integral is a mathematical tool used to find the area under a curve in a given interval by breaking down the curve into smaller, simpler parts and using specific techniques to find the total area. Its purpose is to solve problems related to finding areas, volumes, and other quantities in various fields. There are different types of calculational integrals, each with its own rules and techniques. Common techniques used include substitution, integration by parts, trigonometric identities, and partial fractions. Calculational integrals are also related to derivatives, as they are inverse operations and follow the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

Homework Statement



[tex]\int\frac{x^3dx}{\sqrt{2-x}}[/tex]




The Attempt at a Solution


I solved it in this way
for v=2-x
[tex]\int-\frac{(2-v)^3dv}{\sqrt{v}}=-\int\frac{(8-12v+6v^2+v^3)dv}{\sqrt{v}}
=-\int\frac{8dv}{\sqrt{v}}+\int 12\sqrt{v}dv-\int 6v\sqrt{v}dv-\int v^2\sqrt{v}dv[/tex]
is it true?
Is there any other methods?

That's one way of doing it. If you substitute v2 for 2-x, you will have a radical-free expression to integrate.

FAQ: Calculating Integral: \int\frac{x^3dx}{\sqrt{2-x}} Solution and Alternatives

What is a calculational integral?

A calculational integral is a mathematical tool used to find the area under a curve in a given interval. It involves breaking down the curve into smaller, simpler parts and using mathematical techniques to find the area of each part, which are then added together to get the total area.

What is the purpose of using a calculational integral?

The purpose of using a calculational integral is to solve problems related to finding areas, volumes, and other quantities in mathematics, physics, engineering, and other fields. It is a powerful tool for solving real-world problems that involve continuous quantities.

What are the different types of calculational integrals?

The different types of calculational integrals include definite integrals, indefinite integrals, improper integrals, and multivariable integrals. Each type has its own specific rules and techniques for solving them.

What are some common techniques used in calculational integrals?

Some common techniques used in calculational integrals include substitution, integration by parts, trigonometric identities, and partial fractions. These techniques help simplify complex integrals and make them easier to solve.

How do calculational integrals relate to derivatives?

Calculational integrals and derivatives are inverse operations of each other. Derivatives represent the rate of change of a function, while integrals represent the accumulation of that function over a given interval. This relationship is known as the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
