OpenStudy (anonymous):
is it substitution??
OpenStudy (amistre64):
integration has techniques; not rules perse
OpenStudy (amistre64):
substitution would clean it up yes

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

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

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|
