Review Questions

Heey,
For the hw assignment, I'm just wondering why do we flip the 1 and negative 1 for question 54 c. (for question 54 g the minimum one as well). Isn't it above the x-axis? If you can answer it, thanks.

for 54c. you have to flip it because otherwise it will be 1 to -1, which is not the right format for solving the integral. the smaller number should be on the bottom, so when you flip it, it becomes the negative of the integral. it is in the notes we took in class for 5.3.
this is also the reason for the minimum of 54g.
