Is this integral substitution approach correct for evaluating the integral I?

In summary, UHWO 242 integral substitution is a mathematical technique used to solve definite integrals by substituting a new variable in place of the original variable. It is most useful when the integrand contains a complicated expression that can be simplified. The steps for using this method include identifying the new variable, rewriting the integral, solving for the new variable, substituting it into the integral, and evaluating the integral. However, there are limitations to this technique and it may not always be applicable to all integrals. Other methods may need to be used in those cases.

$$\displaystyle
I=\int_{2}^{6}\frac{y}{\sqrt{y-2}} \,dy = \frac{40}{3}$$
$$
\begin{align}
u&=y-2 &y&=u+2 \\
du&=dy
\end{align}$$
then
$$\displaystyle
I=\int_{0}^{4}\frac{u+2}{\sqrt{u}} \, du
=\int_{0}^{4}{u}^{1/2} \, du + 2\int_{0}^{4} {u}^{-1/2} \, du$$
Just seeing if going in right direction...

\text{back subst and calc gives} \\

FAQ: Is this integral substitution approach correct for evaluating the integral I?

What is UHWO 242 integral substitution?

UHWO 242 integral substitution is a mathematical technique used to solve definite integrals that involve substitution of a variable. It is commonly used to simplify and solve complex integrals.

How does UHWO 242 integral substitution work?

UHWO 242 integral substitution works by substituting a new variable in place of the original variable in an integral. This new variable is usually chosen in a way that simplifies the integral and makes it easier to solve.

When should I use UHWO 242 integral substitution?

UHWO 242 integral substitution is most useful when the integrand contains a complicated expression that can be simplified by substituting a new variable. It is also helpful when trying to evaluate integrals involving trigonometric functions.

What are the steps for using UHWO 242 integral substitution?

The steps for using UHWO 242 integral substitution are:
1. Identify the new variable to substitute.
2. Rewrite the integral in terms of the new variable.
3. Solve for the new variable in terms of the original variable.
4. Substitute the expression for the new variable into the integral.
5. Evaluate the integral and substitute the original variable back in.

Are there any limitations to using UHWO 242 integral substitution?

While UHWO 242 integral substitution is a powerful technique for solving integrals, it may not always be applicable. Some integrals cannot be solved using substitution, and in those cases, other methods such as integration by parts may be necessary.
