Average value is ∫02f(x)⋅dx⋅21 =[31⋅ln(3x+1)]02⋅21 =[3ln(7)−3ln(1)]⋅21 =3ln(7)⋅21 =6ln(7)
A quantity of gas expands according to the law pv0.9=75, where vm3 is the volume of the gas and pNm−2 is the pressure. What is the average pressure as the volume changes from 21m3 to 1m3?
We can find the function p(v)=v0.975 so p(v)=75⋅v−0.9
Average pressure over the interval v∈[21,1] is ∫211p(v)⋅dv⋅2 =[75⋅[0.1v0.1]]211⋅2 =[750⋅v0.1]211⋅2 =[750−750(210.1)]⋅2 =[1−210.1]⋅2⋅750 =1500−215000.1
Therefore we found the average p over the interval.
