Given a function and compute the definite integral of its inverse

97 Views Asked by At

So I have a function $$ f(x)=x^{3}-12x^{2}+69x+6 $$

The question askes me to find the relationship between $$\int_{1}^{2} f(x)dx$$ $$and$$ $$\int_{64}^{104} f^{-1}(x)dx$$

And compute the value of $\int_{64}^{104} f^{-1}(x)dx$

I found out that $f(1) = 64$ and $f(2) = 104 $

But not sure how do I proceed.

I could not find how this is related to the course material presented this week, and am completely lost to be honest. Any help would be appreciated

Hint.

By Laisant's formula, if $f(a)=c$ and $f(b)=d$, then $$ \int_{c}^df^{-1}(x)dx+\int_a^bf(x)dx=bd-ac $$


Notes.

When $f$ is differentiable, one can prove the result by change of variables: $$ \int_c^d f^{-1}(y)dy=\int_a^b f^{-1}(f(x))f'(x)dx=\int_a^b xf'(x)dx=xf(x)|_{a}^b-\int_a^bf(x)dx $$
