why?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the program wouldnt let me answer you back. so how do i integrate 3x (1/3x+5)
OpenStudy (turingtest):
\[\int\frac{3x}{3x+5}dx\]do long division on the ration
OpenStudy (turingtest):
ratio*
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is long divison the only way?

no, but it is the most direct and mechanical
OpenStudy (turingtest):
can you do it the long division way?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no
OpenStudy (turingtest):
I will show you, one sec...
OpenStudy (turingtest):
|dw:1347054426315:dw|so\[\frac{3x}{3x+5}=1-\frac5{3x+5}\]

another quicker, but more clever way\[\frac{3x}{3x+5}=\frac{3x+5-5}{3x+5}=\frac{3x+5}{3x+5}-\frac5{3x+5}=1-\frac5{3x+5}\]
OpenStudy (turingtest):
so nowe you should be able to integrate\[\int1-\frac5{3x+5}dx\]
OpenStudy (turingtest):
now*
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is the integral now 1/2 x (-5x/3x^2+5x)
OpenStudy (turingtest):
?
I'm not seeing what you did there...

what is with the one half?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i dont know. im really not understanding any of this
OpenStudy (turingtest):
you were doing well up to now\[\int1-\frac5{3x+5}dx=\int dx-\int\frac5{3x+5}dx\]
OpenStudy (turingtest):
\[\int dx=x\]obviously, and\[\int\frac5{3x+5}dx=?\]
OpenStudy (turingtest):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
u=3x+5
OpenStudy (turingtest):
yes, now carry it out
OpenStudy (anonymous):
du=3dx, du/3=dx
OpenStudy (turingtest):
nice...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
5x/u

is it x-1/3(5x/3x+5)
OpenStudy (turingtest):
yes, sorry for the late reply
OpenStudy (turingtest):
wait no that's wrong
OpenStudy (turingtest):
\[\int\frac5{3x+5}dx\]\[u=3x+5\implies du=3dx\implies\frac{du}3=dx\]\[\frac53\int\frac{du}u=\frac53\ln u=\frac53\ln(3x+5)\]
OpenStudy (turingtest):
so\[\int1-\frac5{3x+5}dx=x-\frac53\ln(3x+5)+C\]which makes our fianl answer\[\int\ln(3x+5)dx=x\ln(3x+5)-x+\frac53\ln(3x+5)+C\]\[=3(x+5)\ln(3x+5)-x+C\]

typo above\[\int\ln(3x+5)dx=x\ln(3x+5)-x+\frac53\ln(3x+5)+C\]\[=\frac13(3x+5)\ln(3x+5)-x+C\]
