I need help with a problem. I'll post a pic of it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (rational):

there is a very obvious u-substitution

rishavraj (rishavraj):

\[\int\limits \frac{ f'(x) }{ f(x) }dx = \ln (f(x)) + c\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where did u get ln(f(x)) from?

OpenStudy (rational):

try substituting the entire denominator : \(\large u = 4+2\sin x\)

rishavraj (rishavraj):

@dolphins121 u know \[\int\limits \frac{ dy }{ y } = \ln y + C\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay then what @rational

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and uhm I'm not sure... @rishavraj

rishavraj (rishavraj):

@dolphins121 \[u = 4 + 2\sin x\] so \[2 \cos x dx = du\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay.. so then what?

rishavraj (rishavraj):

now just plug u = 4 + 2sinx and dx = du/(2 cos x)

rishavraj (rishavraj):

so now it would be |dw:1427596509247:dw|
