Definite Integration Problem - # 2

[Jason76]

\(\displaystyle \int^{16}_{1} \dfrac{x - 7}{\sqrt{x}} dx\)

\(\displaystyle \int^{16}_{1} (x - 7)(x^{1/2}) dx\) Next move?

\(\displaystyle \int^{16}_{1} \dfrac{x - 7}{\sqrt{x}} dx\)

\(\displaystyle \int^{16}_{1} (x - 7)(x^{1/2}) dx\) Next move?

Multiply out. Integrate term by term.

\(\displaystyle \int^{16}_{1} (x - 7)(x^{1/2}) dx\) Next move?

\(\displaystyle \int^{16}_{1} (x - 7)(x^{-1/2}) dx \ \ \ \) You forgot to make the exponent negative as I showed here.
