Re: MX2 Integration Marathon

The question is missing some information, but I'm assuming the facts you left out were:
1) Draw a line from P perpendicular to the x-axis, and that forms the trapezium?

2) When you mean area underneath the curve, I think you mean:

And how well the trapezium estimates this (where P(t, y(t)) )

Is that what you meant?

I'll leave this for someone else to do though

Re: MX2 Integration Marathon

I think this same question is on the 4U marathon thread :)
The tan sub is easier and more obvious, isn't it?
Is it?

Well I asked for the question to be done without that particular substitution because earlier in this Integration marathon someone already solved it using that substitution.
Tan substitution is a bit obvious, though the definite integrals property I think is less obvious.

Yeah page 14.
No one actually did it though but people mentioned the two methods.

Re: MX2 Integration Marathon

Not sure if this is correct because it looks really ugly...













You may have the answer but in a different form.
But you have the idea, its just by parts then a substitution on the second integral.
