Calc question

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

\[\frac{ e^{u} }{ (8-e^{u})^{2}}du\] anti derivative? what to sub?

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

try to think and then we'll explore your ideas

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

integration is about exploring methods

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

well I wanna sub \[(8-e^{u})\] for lets say x? but should I include the ^2?

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

that's a good idea... no do not include ^2 try to use a different letter

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

but x is okay :)

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

I was going to use u, but thats already in the equation

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

\[\int\limits \frac{e^u}{(8-e^u)^2}du \rightarrow x=8-e^u, dx= -e^u\]

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

\[= \int\limits \frac{1}{x^2}dx\]

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

you can use s or anything really

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

just make sure not to forget to switch it back though LAUGHING OUT LOUD

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

ok so now I take the anti derivative of \[\frac{1}{x^{2}}\] which will be what \[-\frac{1}{x}\]

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

CORRECT. I think you can do the rest from where I left off ciao

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

that you! =)
