Hello, I need some Calculas help...
I was wondering if you check my answer... all help is appreciated...
At first glance that solution does look reasonable. You'd need the u-substitution with the denominator, so the natural log makes sense. The 1/4 factor because the du = 4 .. dx, so 1/4 du. That looks good to me I think.
could u guys help check my answers for a few more
The u-sub on 3x^3 because x^2 in the integrand. u=3x^3, du=9x^2 dx, 1/9 du = x^2 dx and so integrate 1/9 e^(u) du = 1/9 e^u + c = 1/9 e^(3x^3) If these are all indefinite integrals, you can also take the derivative to check the answer. The derivative just returns back to the integrand, like d/dx ( 1/9 e^(3x^3) ) = 1/9 * d/dx(3x^3) e^(3x^3) = 9/9 x^2 e^(3x^3)
ok thnxs
Glad to help! :)
there were 2 I did not know how to solve at all, Ill post them, btw thnxs for your help and teaching me every step and such
actaully one more haha
For each of those first two, it may help things out if you can get an exponential base of e. \(a^ x = \left( e^{\ln a} \right) ^x = e^{x \ln a}\) At the end you can convert back to base a by the reverse process. Does that make sense?
ok
Alternatively, if you know this as an identity from derivative calculus: \( \dfrac{d}{dx} a^x = a^x \ \ln a \) The reverse process is just: \( \displaystyle \int a^x \ dx = \dfrac{a^x}{\ln a} \) We just need u-substitution to deal with the exponent of -2x. You can eliminate some choices automatically, because all exponentials act like e^x. Their derivatives are a constant multiple of themselves. It isn't possible to go from 5^(-2x) to 5^x.
ok thnxs
If that clears up confusion for the first two, the last was that number 8. The derivative of tan x is sec^2 x. That is the same as 1/cos^2 x, right? So we have tan x and its derivative sec^2 x.
yup
So if we u-substitute u = tan x, du = sec^2 x dx.= 1/cos^2 x dx. Can you see how to work out the problem with that out of the way? (It is about the same problem as in integrating 5^(-2x) dx at that point).
