Re: Help log integration

Hi;

how we work with absolute value

One idea is to just get rid of it. In the interval of integration -1 to 5, log(abs(x+3)) = log(x+3)


In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Re: Help log integration

Hi Zeeshan 01,
For absolute values first you have to find out which expression for which domain.
In this case,
|x+3| = -x-3 for -∞ <x <=-3
          =x+3  for  -3<=x<-∞
In this it falls in the second part of the domain but suppose the intgration is from -5 to -1 then

Re: Help log integration

By definition |x+3|= x+3 if  x+3>0 i.e. x>-3 and
                            =-(x+3) if  x+3<0 i.e. x<-3

Re: Help log integration

i understand absolute values that if |x+3|= x+3 if  x+3>0 but how 3 comes.in. your interval

and how we work with it i know how to take definite intervals but this question i dont understand properly

Re: Help log integration

x+3>0
x+3-3>-3 by subtracting 3 from both sides.
x>-3
Is it O.K.?

Re: Help log integration

What do you mean? Put them in latex? Solve the integral with them?

I would just drop the abs, since you do not like that way you will have to wait.

Hi zeeshan 01,
I was giving you a hypothetical case.
In your case x from 5 to -1 , -3 never comes in. |x+3| remains x+3 throughout your interval. Sorry for any confusion caused to you.Bobbym's view is perfect and to the point. Please follow him.

is what you should have.

Re: Help log integration

In the domain (-1,5) |x+3|=x+3 That is all.
