# 5.4 Integration formulas and the net change theorem  (Page 2/8)

 Page 2 / 8

Just as we did before, we can use definite integrals to calculate the net displacement as well as the total distance traveled. The net displacement is given by

$\begin{array}{cc}{\int }_{2}^{5}v\left(t\right)dt\hfill & ={\int }_{2}^{4}40dt+{\int }_{4}^{5}-30dt\hfill \\ & =80-30\hfill \\ & =50.\hfill \end{array}$

Thus, at 5 p.m. the car is 50 mi north of its starting position. The total distance traveled is given by

$\begin{array}{}\\ \\ {\int }_{2}^{5}|v\left(t\right)|dt\hfill & ={\int }_{2}^{4}40dt+{\int }_{4}^{5}30dt\hfill \\ & =80+30\hfill \\ & =110.\hfill \end{array}$

Therefore, between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m., the car traveled a total of 110 mi.

To summarize, net displacement may include both positive and negative values. In other words, the velocity function accounts for both forward distance and backward distance. To find net displacement, integrate the velocity function over the interval. Total distance traveled, on the other hand, is always positive. To find the total distance traveled by an object, regardless of direction, we need to integrate the absolute value of the velocity function.

## Finding net displacement

Given a velocity function $v\left(t\right)=3t-5$ (in meters per second) for a particle in motion from time $t=0$ to time $t=3,$ find the net displacement of the particle.

Applying the net change theorem, we have

$\begin{array}{ll}{\int }_{0}^{3}\left(3t-5\right)dt\hfill & =\frac{3{t}^{2}}{2}-5t{|}_{0}^{3}\hfill \\ \\ & =\left[\frac{3{\left(3\right)}^{2}}{2}-5\left(3\right)\right]-0\hfill \\ & =\frac{27}{2}-15\hfill \\ & =\frac{27}{2}-\frac{30}{2}\hfill \\ & =-\frac{3}{2}.\hfill \end{array}$

The net displacement is $-\frac{3}{2}$ m ( [link] ).

## Finding the total distance traveled

Use [link] to find the total distance traveled by a particle according to the velocity function $v\left(t\right)=3t-5$ m/sec over a time interval $\left[0,3\right].$

The total distance traveled includes both the positive and the negative values. Therefore, we must integrate the absolute value of the velocity function to find the total distance traveled.

To continue with the example, use two integrals to find the total distance. First, find the t -intercept of the function, since that is where the division of the interval occurs. Set the equation equal to zero and solve for t . Thus,

$\begin{array}{ccc}3t-5\hfill & =\hfill & 0\hfill \\ \hfill 3t& =\hfill & 5\hfill \\ \hfill t& =\hfill & \frac{5}{3}.\hfill \end{array}$

The two subintervals are $\left[0,\frac{5}{3}\right]$ and $\left[\frac{5}{3},3\right].$ To find the total distance traveled, integrate the absolute value of the function. Since the function is negative over the interval $\left[0,\frac{5}{3}\right],$ we have $|v\left(t\right)|=\text{−}v\left(t\right)$ over that interval. Over $\left[\frac{5}{3},3\right],$ the function is positive, so $|v\left(t\right)|=v\left(t\right).$ Thus, we have

$\begin{array}{}\\ \\ {\int }_{0}^{3}|v\left(t\right)|dt\hfill & ={\int }_{0}^{5\text{/}3}\text{−}v\left(t\right)dt+{\int }_{5\text{/}3}^{3}v\left(t\right)dt\hfill \\ \\ & ={\int }_{0}^{5\text{/}3}5-3tdt+{\int }_{5\text{/}3}^{3}3t-5dt\hfill \\ & ={\left(5t-\frac{3{t}^{2}}{2}\right)|}_{0}^{5\text{/}3}+{\left(\frac{3{t}^{2}}{2}-5t\right)|}_{5\text{/}3}^{3}\hfill \\ & =\left[5\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)-\frac{3{\left(5\text{/}3\right)}^{2}}{2}\right]-0+\left[\frac{27}{2}-15\right]-\left[\frac{3{\left(5\text{/}3\right)}^{2}}{2}-\frac{25}{3}\right]\hfill \\ & =\frac{25}{3}-\frac{25}{6}+\frac{27}{2}-15-\frac{25}{6}+\frac{25}{3}\hfill \\ & =\frac{41}{6}.\hfill \end{array}$

So, the total distance traveled is $\frac{14}{6}$ m.

Find the net displacement and total distance traveled in meters given the velocity function $f\left(t\right)=\frac{1}{2}{e}^{t}-2$ over the interval $\left[0,2\right].$

Net displacement: $\frac{{e}^{2}-9}{2}\approx -0.8055\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}\text{m;}$ total distance traveled: $4\phantom{\rule{0.1em}{0ex}}\text{ln}\phantom{\rule{0.1em}{0ex}}4-7.5+\frac{{e}^{2}}{2}\approx 1.740$ m

## Applying the net change theorem

The net change theorem can be applied to the flow and consumption of fluids, as shown in [link] .

## How many gallons of gasoline are consumed?

If the motor on a motorboat is started at $t=0$ and the boat consumes gasoline at the rate of $5-{t}^{3}$ gal/hr, how much gasoline is used in the first 2 hours?

Express the problem as a definite integral, integrate, and evaluate using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. The limits of integration are the endpoints of the interval $\left[0,2\right].$ We have

$\begin{array}{cc}{\int }_{0}^{2}\left(5-{t}^{3}\right)dt\hfill & =\left(5t-\frac{{t}^{4}}{4}\right){|}_{0}^{2}\hfill \\ \\ \\ & =\left[5\left(2\right)-\frac{{\left(2\right)}^{4}}{4}\right]-0\hfill \\ & =10-\frac{16}{4}\hfill \\ & =6.\hfill \end{array}$

Thus, the motorboat uses 6 gal of gas in 2 hours.

Marc
also known as the y value so I could say y=2x or f(x)= 2x same thing just using functional notation your next question is what is dependent and independent variables. I am Dyslexic but know math and which is which confuses me. but one can vary the x value while y depends on which x you use. also
Marc
up domain and range
Marc
enjoy your work and good luck
Marc
I actually wanted to ask another questions on sets if u dont mind please?
Inembo
I have so many questions on set and I really love dis app I never believed u would reply
Inembo
Hmm go ahead and ask you got me curious too much conversation here
am sorry for disturbing I really want to know math that's why *I want to know the meaning of those symbols in sets* e.g n,U,A', etc pls I want to know it and how to solve its problems
Inembo
and how can i solve a question like dis *in a group of 40 students, 32 offer maths and 24 offer physics and 4 offer neither maths nor physics , how many offer both maths and physics*
Inembo
next questions what do dy mean by (A' n B^c)^c'
Inembo
The sets help you to define the function. The function is like a magic box where you put inside stuff(numbers or sets) and you get out the stuff but in different shapes (forms).
I dont understand what you wanna say by (A' n B^c)^c'
(A' n B (rise to the power of c)) all rise to the power of c
Inembo
Aaaahh
Ok so the set is formed by vectors and not numbers
A vector of length n
But you can make a set out of matrixes as well
I I don't even understand sets I wat to know d meaning of all d symbolsnon sets
Inembo
High-school?
yes
Inembo
am having big problem understanding sets more than other math topics
Inembo
So f:R->R means that the function takes real numbers and provides real numer. For ex. If f(x) =2x this means if you give to your function a real number like 2,it gives you also a real number 2times2=4
pls answer this question *in a group of 40 students, 32 offer maths and 24 offer physics and 4 offer neither maths nor physics , how many offer both maths and physics*
Inembo
If you have f:R^n->R^n you give to your function a vector of length n like (a1,a2,...an) where all a1,.. an are reals and gives you also a vector of length n... I don't know if i answering your question. Otherwise on YouTube you havr many videos where they explain it in a simple way
I would say 24
Offer both
Sorry 20
Actually you have 40 - 4 =36 who offer maths or physics or both.
I know its 20 but how to prove it
Inembo
You have 32+24=56who offer courses
56-36=20 who give both courses... I would say that
solution: In a question involving sets and Venn diagram, the sum of the members of set A + set B - the joint members of both set A and B + the members that are not in sets A or B = the total members of the set. In symbolic form n(A U B) = n(A) + n (B) - n (A and B) + n (A U B)'.
Mckenzie
In the case of sets A and B use the letters m and p to represent the sets and we have: n (M U P) = 40; n (M) = 24; n (P) = 32; n (M and P) = unknown; n (M U P)' = 4
Mckenzie
Now substitute the numerical values for the symbolic representation 40 = 24 + 32 - n(M and P) + 4 Now solve for the unknown using algebra: 40 = 24 + 32+ 4 - n(M and P) 40 = 60 - n(M and P) Add n(M and P), as well, subtract 40 from both sides of the equation to find the answer.
Mckenzie
40 - 40 + n(M and P) = 60 - 40 - n(M and P) + n(M and P) Solution: n(M and P) = 20
Mckenzie
thanks
Inembo
Simpler form: Add the sums of set M, set P and the complement of the union of sets M and P then subtract the number of students from the total.
Mckenzie
n(M and P) = (32 + 24 + 4) - 40 = 60 - 40 = 20

how do i evaluate integral of x^1/2 In x
first you simplify the given expression, which gives (x^2/2). Then you now integrate the above simplified expression which finally gives( lnx^2).
by using integration product formula

Mul
what is domin in this question
noman
all real numbers . except zero
Roha
please try to guide me how?
Meher
what do u want to ask
Roha
?
Roha
the domain of the function is all real number excluding zero, because the rational function 1/x is a representation of a fractional equation (precisely inverse function). As in elementary mathematics the concept of dividing by zero is nonexistence, so zero will not make the fractional statement
Mckenzie
a function's answer/range should not be in the form of 1/0 and there should be no imaginary no. say square root of any negative no. (-1)^1/2
Roha
domain means everywhere along the x axis. since this function is not discontinuous anywhere along the x axis, then the domain is said to be all values of x.
Andrew
Derivative of a function
Waqar
right andrew ... this function is only discontinuous at 0
Roha
of sorry, I didn't realize he was taking about the function 1/x ...I thought he was referring to the function x^3-2x.
Andrew
yep...it's 1/x...!!!
Roha
true and cannot be apart of the domain that makes up the relation of the graph y = 1/x. The value of the denominator of the rational function can never be zero, because the result of the output value (range value of the graph when x =0) is undefined.
Mckenzie
👍
Roha
Therefore, when x = 0 the image of the rational function does not exist at this domain value, but exist at all other x values (domain) that makes the equation functional, and the graph drawable.
Mckenzie
👍
