Is a/o good with in tegration by subsitution?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, go for it.

OpenStudy (samiam):

oh i think i got it but i will share it neways

OpenStudy (samiam):

\[\int\limits_{?}^{?}(e ^{t})/(1+e^t)\]

OpenStudy (samiam):

ignore the question marks though

OpenStudy (samiam):

sorry I have a hard time typing out the equations

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\phi=1+e^t \implies d \phi =e^t dt\] Thus the integral becomes (by direct substitution) \[\int\limits \frac{d \phi}{\phi}=\ln|\phi|+C=\ln|1+e^t|+C\]

OpenStudy (samiam):

y is it in these lines? Y is it with the absolute value thingy?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because you can't put negative numbers into a logarithm. So the absolute value MUST be there to ensure you don't get an complex argument.
