which integration rule would i use for the following question

Question?

|dw:1335645235057:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it substitution??

OpenStudy (amistre64):

integration has techniques; not rules perse

OpenStudy (amistre64):

substitution would clean it up yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes technique

OpenStudy (anonymous):

help me out please

OpenStudy (amistre64):

your options for substitution are limited; what would you pick as your best substitution?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2=t

OpenStudy (amistre64):

we want to choose something that will derive to a useful layout

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u would be 4x??

OpenStudy (amistre64):

lets try it ....

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if u = 4x what does that derive to?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

we derive the u part to find the substitution for dx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4

OpenStudy (amistre64):

which do you want to do; u = 4x or u = x^2?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

your picture is good except in your deriving of u

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[u = x^2\]\[\frac{du}{dx}=2x\]\[\frac{du}{2x}=dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so use du=4??

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\int4xe^{x^2}dx\to\ \int \frac{4xe^u\ du}{2x}\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

your ignoring the dx part that your spose to be finding a subsitution for

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh okay

OpenStudy (beginnersmind):

If you're wondering how everyone knew u=x^2 was the right substitution, here's a hint:|dw:1335635625299:dw|
