use substitution to find the indefinite integral..
\[\int\limits_{}^{} \left( \frac{ 6 }{\left( 6x+1 \right)^{2} } \right) dx\]
u = (6x+1) du = 6dx
\(u=6x+1\), so \(\dfrac{1}{6}du=dx\): \[\frac{1}{6}\int\frac{6}{u^2}~du\]
The derivative of 6x +1 is 6.
ok so sorry I'm slow .. i have to times \[\frac{ 1 }{6}\] by \[\frac{ 6 }{ u ^{2} }\] rights?
Actually in this question they cancel out.. so you're left with just \[\int\limits_{}^{}du/u^2 \]
so the answer would be \[\frac{ 1 }{ (6x+1)^2} + c\] ?
u^(-2) is a power rule of integration ...
k u^n derives to nk u^(n-1) n-1 = -2, so n=-1 nk = 1; -k = 1, k = -1 if we need to unfold it that much ....
\[u^{-2}\to-u^{-1}+c\] or with the actual parts .... \[ -(6x+1)^{-1}+ c\]
ok i kinda follow but where did you get the -2?
property of exponents: \[\frac{1}{a^b}=a^{-b}\]
since we have a power rule for integration, its just simpler to have it in that form
\[\int\limits_{}^{} \frac{ e^x-e ^{-x} }{ e^x+e^{-x} } dx\]
Easy substitution: \(u=e^x+e^{-x}\), then \(du=\left(e^x-e^{-x}\right)~dx\), so \[\int\frac{e^x-e^{-x}}{e^x+e^{-x}}~dx=\int\frac{du}{u}\]
1st. thanks for replying didn't think anyone would lol 2nd. since du/u that means its ln (e^x + x^-x) + C ?
