help me integrate this one please. :)

OpenStudy (kaiz122):

\[\int\limits_{}^{} \frac{e^{2x}}{\sqrt{1-e ^{2x}) }} dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

trigonometric substitution.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let e^x = sin(x) for example

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin(alpha) not x. would make less sense.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ e^x= sin(\alpha)\] \[ e^x dx = cos(\alpha) d\alpha \] \[ \large \int \frac{\overbrace{e^x}^{sin\alpha}\overbrace{e^xdx}^{cos\alpha d\alpha}}{\sqrt{1-\underbrace{e^{2x}}}_{sin^2\alpha}} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so I get \[ -\sqrt{1-e^{-2x}}\] after integrating and back substitution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mention when something is unclear @kaiz122

OpenStudy (kaiz122):

can we just let \[u=e^{x}\] ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that should work too but it might require another substitution, that's only how my mind works though. The denominator cries out for trig substitution (in my eyes), but there are various ways of solving it I am sure.

OpenStudy (kaiz122):

yes, your answer is right, but i just wanted another solution for this. :)

OpenStudy (kaiz122):

ok, thanks, i got it now. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your welcome, I tried it out with an u substitution too, it works, but requires an additional substitution. No problem though, always choose what's the most intuitive to you.
