integral from 0 to 5 of 1/(sqrt(5-x))

\int_{0}^{5} \frac{1}{5 - x} d x

25

Decimal

4.47213 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{5} \frac{1}{5 - x} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int_{5}^{0} - \frac{1}{u} d u

\int_{a}^{b} f (x) d x = - \int_{b}^{a} f (x) d x, a < b

= - \int_{0}^{5} - \frac{1}{u} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= - (- \int_{0}^{5} \frac{1}{u} d u)

Apply the Power Rule

= - (- [2 u^{\frac{1}{2}}]_{0}^{5})

Simplify

- (- [2 u^{\frac{1}{2}}]_{0}^{5}) : [2 u]_{0}^{5}

= [2 u]_{0}^{5}

Compute the boundaries:

25

= 25
