use substitution to find the indefinite integral..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{}^{} \left( \frac{ 6 }{\left( 6x+1 \right)^{2} } \right) dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u = (6x+1) du = 6dx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(u=6x+1\), so \(\dfrac{1}{6}du=dx\): \[\frac{1}{6}\int\frac{6}{u^2}~du\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The derivative of 6x +1 is 6.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so sorry I'm slow .. i have to times \[\frac{ 1 }{6}\] by \[\frac{ 6 }{ u ^{2} }\] rights?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually in this question they cancel out.. so you're left with just \[\int\limits_{}^{}du/u^2 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer would be \[\frac{ 1 }{ (6x+1)^2} + c\] ?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

u^(-2) is a power rule of integration ...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

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 ....

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[u^{-2}\to-u^{-1}+c\] or with the actual parts .... \[ -(6x+1)^{-1}+ c\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i kinda follow but where did you get the -2?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

property of exponents: \[\frac{1}{a^b}=a^{-b}\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

since we have a power rule for integration, its just simpler to have it in that form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{}^{} \frac{ e^x-e ^{-x} }{ e^x+e^{-x} } dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Easy substitution: \(u=e^x+e^{-x}\), then \(du=\left(e^x-e^{-x}\right)~dx\), so \[\int\frac{e^x-e^{-x}}{e^x+e^{-x}}~dx=\int\frac{du}{u}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1st. thanks for replying didn't think anyone would lol 2nd. since du/u that means its ln (e^x + x^-x) + C ?

@sithsAndGiggles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes
