i'still not comprehending... it's really hard to understand your work.. :"(

8. amoodarya

9. anonymous

thank you.. but anyone else know how ot do this differently? or clearly? :D

10. amoodarya

which part of that is complicated for you ?

11. anonymous

the formula you used, which is different from what i have on my review sheet, and i still can't read someof your work :'(

12. anonymous

ah.., let me try this myself :) i think i now get what you did!

13. amoodarya

14. anonymous

ok, i dont.get.this. where did the "S" come from?

15. amoodarya

s in figure is area of f(x)

16. anonymous

could you try doing it without the "s"?

17. amoodarya

yeah without s i.e. f(x)= 1/x^2 ?

18. anonymous

yes :)

19. amoodarya

20. amoodarya

look if ok go on

21. anonymous

oh... ok. im gonna have lf again. thank you:)

22. anonymous

i meant try myself again.

23. amoodarya

do you know the mean value of integrals theory?

24. anonymous

ok, so here is what i did. $\frac{ 1 }{ 3-1 }\int\limits_{1}^{3}\frac{ 1 }{ x ^{x} }dx = \frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\int\limits_{1}^{3}x ^{-2}dx ^{}$ $\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }(-x ^{-1})$from 1 to 3, $\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }(-3^{-1}+1^{-1}) = \frac{ 1 }{ 2 }(\frac{ 1 }{ -3 }+\frac{ 1 }{ 1 }) = \frac{ 1 }{ 2 }(\frac{ 2 }{ 3 })=\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }$

and i dont know what to do next. but i do know that i have found(x*) so far.
