Exciting Integral Problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ e^{3x} }{ 1+e^{6x} }dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the squigly thing is supposed to be in front

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hint: \(\displaystyle\int\dfrac{e^{3x}}{1+e^{6x}}\,dx = \int \frac{e^{3x}}{1+(e^{3x})^2}\,dx\). Do you see how to proceed from here? :-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah I got to that step and now I don't know what to do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What methods of integration are you familiar with?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Guess and check

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's method right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well...you want to actually make a substitution here. Are you familiar with how to do that method?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how about u substetutien u=1+e^6x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh I know substitution. Let me try that and get back to you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay; what substitution would you make in this instance? :-)

OpenStudy (dan815):

lol exciting

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would be something like \[\frac{ du^{1/2} }{ u }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u = e^3x, looks like inverse tan is what you'll get?

OpenStudy (dan815):

you are in for a treat if this is excting

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay I understand

OpenStudy (dan815):

-.- its just ln 1+(e^3x)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, it isn't. \(\displaystyle \int\frac{1}{1+u^2}\,du \neq \ln (1+u^2)+C\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah I forgot about inverse tan

OpenStudy (anonymous):

See look how excited all of you are. This is great. Thanks Internet strangers

OpenStudy (dan815):

oh i see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When you make the substitution \(u=e^{3x}\), we see that \[\int\frac{e^{3x}}{1+e^{6x}}\,dx = \frac{1}{3}\int\frac{1}{1+u^2}\,du = \frac{1}{3}\arctan u + C = \frac{1}{3}\arctan(e^{3x})+C.\]

OpenStudy (dan815):

yeah

OpenStudy (dan815):

silly billy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wooooot. Alright

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Gonna ace this math test

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My second suggestion was for e^3*x, that's what dan was thinking of I think, that's why I mentioned it haha but yeah definitely inverse tan :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Dan's a nooooob

OpenStudy (dan815):

hey there is something interesting though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How did you even see inverse tan? I was just like "What is math?"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because I'm batman

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You found some evidence. You should watch the college humor videos on batman. all of them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this sh1t is so easy, i cant believe u 99's are choking so hard

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I've seen it Ark :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nice. They are funny
