Question

trying to find the integral of ln(e^(-19x^2)) my hint given is "the logarithmic and exponential functions are inverses. how does the help to simplify the problem before finding the antiderivative?" not sure what they mean by the functions are inverses.

Answer 1

well in that case it simplifies to -19*x^2

Answer 2

ln(e^a)=a

in your case a is -19*x^2

Answer 3

says thats incorrect..

Answer 4

-19x^2 is not the answer

you intigrate it

when you do dont forget the + C :)

Answer 5

oh duh thanks!
