help integrating a natural log
Do you know this integral? \(\large\rm \int \sec x~dx\)
If you're more comfortable with a simple inner function like that, you can do a u-sub to start this off, \(\Large\rm u=2\pi x+14\)
ah we meet again :DDD
yeah sec(x) is (sec(X)+tan(X)
:D
log of secx + tanx I think you meant, yes?
pellet mybad
yes
then you sub in u to the x
So if you make a u-sub, you should be able to get it into the form \(\large\rm (number)\int \sec u~ du\) and then you can burn through it pretty fast :)
thnx mane
i subbed it in and got ln(sec(2pix+14)+tan(2pix+14)) it didn't work :/
Very close. You forgot about your \(\Large\rm du\)
\[\Large\rm u=2\pi x+14, \qquad\qquad du=?\]
2pi
You can't integrate \(\Large\rm \int \sec u ~dx\) Gotta deal with the differential also.\[\Large\rm du=2\pi dx\]Ok great, so what are we subbing in for dx? Solve for your dx in this relationship.
du/2pi=dx or do i need x(u)=c+u/2pi
Mmm k that looks great,\[\Large\rm \frac{1}{2\pi}du=dx\]
log(abs(sec(2pix+14)+tan(2pix+14)))/(2pi)
got it, thanks again!
yay!
