integral from-2 to 1 of 1/(sqrt(2-x))

\int_{- 2}^{1} \frac{1}{2 - x} d x

2

Solution steps

\int_{- 2}^{1} \frac{1}{2 - x} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int_{4}^{1} - \frac{1}{u} d u

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

= - \int_{1}^{4} - \frac{1}{u} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= - (- \int_{1}^{4} \frac{1}{u} d u)

Apply the Power Rule

= - (- [2 u^{\frac{1}{2}}]_{1}^{4})

Simplify

- (- [2 u^{\frac{1}{2}}]_{1}^{4}) : [2 u]_{1}^{4}

= [2 u]_{1}^{4}

Compute the boundaries:

2

= 2
