integral from 1 to 4 of (x-7)/(sqrt(x))

\int_{1}^{4} \frac{x - 7}{x} d x

- \frac{28}{3}

Decimal

- 9.33333 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{1}^{4} \frac{x - 7}{x} d x

Expand

\frac{x - 7}{x} : x - \frac{7}{x}

= \int_{1}^{4} x - \frac{7}{x} d x

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= \int_{1}^{4} x d x - \int_{1}^{4} \frac{7}{x} d x

\int_{1}^{4} x d x = \frac{14}{3}

\int_{1}^{4} \frac{7}{x} d x = 14

= \frac{14}{3} - 14

Simplify

\frac{14}{3} - 14 : - \frac{28}{3}

= - \frac{28}{3}
