Expression Evaluation

Posted 12 years ago

In Mathematica v10, this happens:

enter image description here

Questions:

Why is the derivative of y=f(x) not evaluated inside the integral to give 2x?

How can I re-write the input to cause the expression inside the integral to be evaluated prior to performing integration (definite)?

I'm trying to think back to my Lisp days for a hint, but it's not helping :)

Out[1]= {{0.605062, 0.78659, 0.705669}, {0.0363308, 0.416557, 
  0.259851}, {0.34089, 0.187001, 0.5774}}

In[2]:= matrix /. {matrix[[1, 1]] -> x, matrix[[2, 2]] -> y, 
  matrix[[3, 3]] -> z}

Out[2]= {{x, 0.78659, 0.705669}, {0.0363308, y, 0.259851}, {0.34089, 
  0.187001, z}}

In[1]:= y[x_] = x^2;
a = 0;
b = 3;

In[4]:= Integrate[(1 + y'[x]^2)^(1/2), {x, a, b}]

Out[4]= 1/4 (6 Sqrt[37] + ArcSinh[6])

Thanks, Frank. That was exactly the help I needed.
