with the integral of x/(1-x^2)^3 use u substitution to find what it is, i get the answer but it is reverse the fraction should be on top but its on the bottom, please help the answer it 1/[4(1-x^2)^2] and i get the reverse of that

Let's see.|dw:1405201018672:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What did you use as your substitution ?

OpenStudy (anteater):

Is that what you got?

OpenStudy (anteater):

+ C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You mean 1/(4(1-x^2)^2), right anteater?

OpenStudy (anteater):

Yes :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's what I got as well.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got that reverse for some reason , i thought that du would be on top and u would be on bottom

OpenStudy (anteater):

It is. You can use 1 - x^2 as your u. Then du = -2x dx. So since you have x dx, that is -1/2 du

OpenStudy (anteater):

And then you have that over u^3

OpenStudy (anteater):

Hope that helps! Anteater gotta go :)
