Can someone please help me integrate

OpenStudy (marigirl):

\[\int\limits_{?}^{?}\frac{ e ^{3x}+3}{ e ^{3x}+9x } dx\]

hartnn (hartnn):

have you thought of using the substitution ?

OpenStudy (marigirl):

would \[\frac{ f'(x) }{ f(x) } = \ln | f(x)|+c \] come in handy?

hartnn (hartnn):

yes! thats what will help

hartnn (hartnn):

do you see the derivative of denominator in the numerator?

OpenStudy (marigirl):

am i allowed to introduce 3 to the numerator?

hartnn (hartnn):

since it is a constant, yes.

hartnn (hartnn):

if you're a beginner in integration, i suggest you use the substitution method and not that formula

OpenStudy (marigirl):

make u=e^3x?

hartnn (hartnn):

wouldn't \(u = e^{3x} + 9 \) be a better one?

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\Large ** u = e^{3x}+9x\)

OpenStudy (marigirl):

ah yes much better

OpenStudy (marigirl):

its much easier to do

OpenStudy (marigirl):

thanks so much!

OpenStudy (marigirl):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 3 } \ln |e ^{3x}+9x| \]

OpenStudy (marigirl):

ah i wish i never let that formula distract me :(

hartnn (hartnn):

that formula is useful once you get comfortable with it, until then, substitution all the way! :)

OpenStudy (marigirl):

could u please show me the formula way if you can?
