easy , but i dont know.....

OpenStudy (goformit100):

The ok...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a)\[\int\limits_{}^{}\sec3xtan3xdx\] b)\[\int\limits_{}^{}(x+1)\sqrt{3x+2}\] c)\[\int\limits_{}^{}\frac{ e ^{x} -e ^{-x}}{ e ^{x} +e ^{-x}}dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

help me i by 1 please.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

these are the questions ,not answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The first is possibly the easiest of the lot, just let u = 3x and work from there :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First problem :) let u = 3x dx = (1/3)du \[\Large \frac13\int\sec(u)\tan(u)du\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh,I would suggest using Wolfram Alpha, sign up for a free trial, and then you can use the extended keyboard to solve, sorry I am not being much help, I am just starting Pre Calculus

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And then, don't forget that \[\huge \frac{d}{dt}\sec(t)=\sec(t)\tan(t)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait a sec , i wanna try

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\sec3x d3x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u mean i will be like this ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No... I mean this \[\Large \frac13\int\sec(u)\tan(u)du\]and just integrate :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\sec u \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thisss ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

+ C by the way :) Now just replace u with what you started with ^.^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 3 } \sec 3x + c \] this is the answer ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's right :) And you can try differentiating it, just to be sure ^.^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok , what about the nxt quest ? could u help me too?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll do one of the other two questions for you, but the last one, I think it's gonna be best if you try it yourself :) So, which one of the two questions do you wish me to demonstrate for you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok..i choose c)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, surely :) \[\huge \int\frac{e^x+e^{-x}}{e^x-e^{-x}}dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now, let \[\Large u=e^x-e^{-x}\]then\[\Large \frac{du}{dx}=e^x+e^{-x}\]\[\Large du=(e^x+e^{-x})dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\Large dx=\frac{du}{e^x+e^{-x}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, substituting, we get \[\huge \int \frac{e^x+e^{-x}}{u}\left(\frac{du}{e^{x}+e^{-x}}\right)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Cancelling... \[\huge \int \frac{\cancel{e^x+e^{-x}}}{u}\left(\frac{du}{\cancel{e^{x}+e^{-x}}}\right)=\int\frac{du}{u}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Finally \[\huge = \ln(u)+C=\ln(e^x-e^{-x})+C\]And we're done. Any questions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ermmm why \[\frac{ e^{x}+e ^{-x} }{ u }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because we let \[\Huge u=e^x-e^{-x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm....the actual quest states that \[\int\limits_{}^{}\frac{ e ^{x}-e ^{-x} }{ e ^{x} +e ^{-x}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so why u must be below ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It shouldn't really make any difference. I must have misread it :) \[\huge \int\frac{e^x-e^{-x}}{e^x+e^{-x}}dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, so instead let \[\Large v=e^x+e^{-x}\]so that \[\Large \frac{dv}{dx}=e^x-e^{-x}\]\[\Large \frac{dv}{e^x-e^{-x}}=dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So substituting... \[\huge \int \frac{e^x-e^{-x}}{v}\left(\frac{dv}{e^{x}-e^{-x}}\right)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Cancelling \[\huge \int \frac{\cancel{e^x-e^{-x}}}{v}\left(\frac{dv}{\cancel{e^{x}-e^{-x}}}\right)=\int\frac{dv}{v}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And finally \[\huge =\ln(v)+C=\ln(e^x-e^{-x})+C\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhh i see....just the same concept applied

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, no more questions on that? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

err...for b) we use the idea of let u ????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let u = 3x+2 and work from there :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pls check my answer ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\int\limits_{}^{}(x+1)(\sqrt{u} du\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

With you so far... :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Try to express (x+1) in terms of u.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(x+1)=u-(2x+1)\] what about this ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But that's not in terms of u, yet :D There is still an x at the right-side of the equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

err... how ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\Large u = 3x+2\]\[\Large u+1=3x+3\]\[\Large \frac{u+1}{3}=x+1\] \[\Huge x+1=\frac13u+\frac13\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh....ok ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\LARGE \frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\int\limits_{}^{}(x+1)(\sqrt{u}) du=\frac13\int\left(\frac13u+\frac13\right)(u^{\frac12})du \]And from here on in, it's just good old-fashioned power rule ^.^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 3 } \int\limits_{}^{}(\frac{ 1 }{ 3 } u ^{\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }}+\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }u ^{\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }})du\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then like this ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^_^ Yes And you can even bring out another 1/3, to make things simpler... \[\Large \frac19\int u^{\frac32}+u^{\frac12}du\] Much easier now, no?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i got it ! well , thanks a lot !!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem ^.^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good thing, too. I'm going to go to sleep now.
