\[\frac{ e^{u} }{ (8-e^{u})^{2}}du\]
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

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

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! =)
