Please help ..i just couldn't do it :(

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

let u = 2 + 3log(x) du =

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u mean d/dx (u)=d/dx(2+3logx)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

du/dx=0+3/x

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

yes du= 3/x dx

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

now sub these in and it should be easy from here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u mean ∫sinu du right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it should be -cosu +c=-cos(2+3logx)+c?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@UnkleRhaukus

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

almost , dont forget that factor of 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh sorry...du/x=dx/x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

du/3=dx/x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok got it :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you :)

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

so what'd you get as your final result?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 1/3 -cos(2+3logx)+c

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

i think your mean the right thing , but i'd write it like this -(1/3)cos(2+3logx)+c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YES yes :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u help for another problem please :)

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

ok, good work, and welcome to openstudy!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you very much sir :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have done it like this ∫tan(sin^-1x)/root 1-x^2 let tan(sin^-1x)=z =>d/dx tan(sin^-1x)=dz/dx =>sec^2(sin^-1x).1/root 1-x^2=dz/dx =>sec^2(sin^-1x)/dz=dx/root 1-x^2 =>1+tan^2(sin^-1x)/dz=dx/root 1-x^2 =>1+z^2/dz=dx/root 1-x^2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@UnkleRhaukus

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is this right?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

looks pretty good i think you have the right idea, im not sure on the detail though, this sort of question with arctrig functions and sqrts gives me a headache, ,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but now i think i should let sin^-1x=z =>1/root 1-x^2=dz/dx =>dx/root1-x^2=dz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then integral tanz dz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its ln sec z +c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this right? @UnkleRhaukus

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@UnkleRhaukus U there sir?
