Help finding an integral.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{1}^{4} \frac{ 3^\sqrt{x} }{ \sqrt{x} }\]

OpenStudy (freckles):

let u=sqrt(x)

OpenStudy (freckles):

\[2 \int\limits_{a}^{b}3^\sqrt{x} \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} dx\] you should see the derivative of that exponent in the problem :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh so from there it becomes \[2 \int\limits_{1}^{2} u du\]

OpenStudy (freckles):

well what happen to your base 3 thingy?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

woops i mean 3^u

OpenStudy (freckles):

\[2 \int\limits_1^2 3^u du\]

OpenStudy (freckles):

yep that!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And when we take the integral of a base raised to a power it becomes...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3u over ln3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright i got it it's 12 over ln3 thanks for the help.
