Find the average value of the function on the given interval.
| Foundations: |
|---|
| The average value of a function on an interval is given by Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f_{\text{avg}}=\frac{1}{b-a}\int_a^b f(x)~dx} . |
Solution:
| Step 1: |
|---|
| Using the formula given in the Foundations sections, we have: |
| Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f_{\text{avg}}=\frac{1}{2-0}\int_0^2 2x^3(1+x^2)^4~dx=\int_0^2 x^3(1+x^2)^4~dx} |
| Step 2: |
|---|
| Now, we use substitution. Let Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle u=1+x^2} . Then, Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle du=2x dx} and Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \frac{du}{2}=xdx} . Also, Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle x^2=u-1} . |
| We need to change the bounds on the integral. We have Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle u_1=1+0^2=1} and Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle u_2=1+2^2=5} . |
| So, the integral becomes Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f_{\text{avg}}=\int_0^2 x x^2 (1+x^2)^4~dx=\frac{1}{2}\int_1^5(u-1)u^4~du=\frac{1}{2}\int_1^5(u^5-u^4)~du} . |
| Step 3: |
|---|
| We integrate to get |
| Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f_{\text{avg}}=\left.\frac{u^6}{12}-\frac{u^5}{10}\right|_{1}^5=\left.u^5\bigg(\frac{u}{12}-\frac{1}{10}\bigg)\right|_{1}^5} |
| Step 4: |
|---|
| We evaluate to get |
| Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f_{\text{avg}}=5^5\bigg(\frac{5}{12}-\frac{1}{10}\bigg)-1^5\bigg(\frac{1}{12}-\frac{1}{10}\bigg)=3125\bigg(\frac{19}{60}\bigg)-\frac{-1}{60}=\frac{59376}{60}=\frac{4948}{5}} . |
| Final Answer: |
