Integrating the Area of a Circle
So I understand that the circumference of a circle is represented by the expression $2πr$, and integrating it yields the area of the circle, represented by the expression $πr²$ - which also ... calculus integration raidnaeem

I don't know how to represent the curves in the graph below.
So I am making an Arcade game and I am trying to make the difficulty curve smooth (now the values are hard coded), but I don't know how f(x)/f(g(x)) should look like in order to achieve this. I found ... calculus graphing-functions Paul Berta

Need help plugging in bounds in a u-substitution
This is a really basic question but I'm just a little confused. I have this integral: $$\int_{0}^{2\pi}\cos^3tdt$$ I solved it by doing a u-sub: $$\int_{0}^{2\pi}\cos t(1-\sin^2t)dt$$ Let $u=\sin t$, ... calculus integration definite-integrals user8358234

Evan's statement about integral of the divergence of a vector field.
At the start of Evan;s textbook there is this statement: How can we conclude 3 from the first equality? Why can't it be that the divergence is positive and negative over the volume in equal ... calculus integration partial-differential-equations divergence-theorem Makogan

Is there any method other than Feynman’s Integration Technique to find $ \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \ln \left(a \cos ^{2} x+b \sin ^{2} x+c\right) d x?$
We are going to find the formula, by Feynman’s Integration Technique, for $$\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \ln \left(a \cos ^{2} x+b \sin ^{2} x+c\right) d x,$$ where $a+c$ $\textrm{ and }$ $b+c$ are ... calculus integration definite-integrals Lai
