integral ln(3x+5)

OpenStudy (turingtest):

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?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

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\[\frac{3x}{3x+5}=1-\frac5{3x+5}\]

OpenStudy (turingtest):

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...

OpenStudy (turingtest):

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):

hint: u-sub

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (turingtest):

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