Sorry for my English, is not my first language..
I have some trouble in terms of using integrate function in R.
fx is a function of m and x where m is supposed to be a unknown
parameter.
R is not an algebraic solver (and R-help is not a homework list.).
fx=function(m,x){
+ x*2/(3*m)*(1-x/(3*m))
+ }
The problem is in upper bound, it depends on parameter m.
integrate(fx,lower=0,upper=3*m)$value
Is it possible to use the integrate function when bounds depend on a
parameter?
If it is known, yes. You could also do some investigation:
curve(x*2/(3*5)*(1-x/(3*5)), 0, 15)
How to define m to solve this integral? The result should be m.
As I said, no homework answers here.
