Integral

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{}^{} \frac{ 8 }{ e ^{3x}} dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know its easy but I have trouble with which one to substitute

OpenStudy (anonymous):

change its form by taking the e term to the top with a negative exponent.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8 is a constant, you can pull that out

hartnn (hartnn):

no substitution just write 1/ e^(3x) = e^(-3x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hartnn is one of my mentors... so he can help too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh cool

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I like to take the constants to the front too, just like @completeidiot

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[∫\frac{8}{e^{3x}}dx=8∫\frac{1}{e^{3x}}dx=8∫e^{-3x}dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's the ticket!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now u sub the exponent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u= -3x ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

du=-3dx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dx=-1/3du

hartnn (hartnn):

or you can use \[\huge{\int\limits_{}^{}e^{ax}dx =\frac{e^{ax}}{a}+c}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nice! slow down... make her work for it :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is a rule?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

hartnn (hartnn):

:( i was just using standard rule.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

basically u=ax in that case they just solved it out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you do your steps.... hartnn is advanced

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

He teaches me on this forum.

hartnn (hartnn):

ok,i will leave this upto u all. sorry for disturbing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You wern't Im just slow haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I love your company... you are always welcome as far as I'm concerned.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[8∫{e^{-3x}dx\] ok sooooo u=-3x we also need to change dx into du, in order to integrate properly du=-3dx dx=-1/3du we substitute u and du into the equation \[-\frac{1}{3}*8∫{e^{u}}du\] now integrate \[∫{e^{u}}du\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is my 4th problem with her... she's working... she just takes a little time.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@completeidiot is totally on it... he is saving the (-8/3) for the next step.
