Help with integrals? Has to do with ln(x) and I'm having trouble with that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is your question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 5 }{ x }-2e^x\] and \[3x ^{-1}+3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i give you some hints dy/dx(lnx) = 1/x dy/dx(e^x) = e^x x^(-1) = 1/x try doing it now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Could \[\frac{ 5 }{ x }\] be written as \[5\ln(x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup the integral of 5/x is 5ln(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-2e^x\] would stay the same when integrated?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup thats correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got that answer before but when I enter in the answer, it says that the domain doesn't match the correct answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i give show you how i would write the answer \[\int\limits_{}^{}\ \frac{ 5 }{ x } - 2e^x = 5\ln(x) -2e^x + c \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's the answer I entered and it said the domain doesn't match and c is not defined in this context

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that should be correct, unless this is a definite integral then i would need the intervals you are integrating over would it be possible to see the complete problem? (take a pic and post it here)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try using log(x) instead of ln(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 5log(x) - 2e^x + c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Still says the domain doesn't match...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

theres something wrong with this.. it should be right the only other thing i can think of is is f(x) is the function your integrating then F(x) is denoted to be an anti derivative of f(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so F(x) = 5log(x) - 2e^x + C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can't really think of any other way to write it...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what math program is this? webassign? can you possibly show me how you type the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Some website called WeBWorK I write it like: 5ln(x)-2e^x (said to leave out C unless specified)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i really dont see what is wrong with this everything should be correct, i suggest you notify the prof/teach/instructor about this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hm, just got it. Apparently I was supposed to put x as an absolute value in ln so it would be ln(abs(x))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks for trying to work it out with me ^^;

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow geez, they are so picky about the answer lol well im glad it worked out okay, sorry i couldnt help much haha
