The substitution used is u= , formula number . After substitution, ∫sqrte^8x−25dx=∫ ? du.
\[\int\limits (\sqrt{e^{8x}}-25 ) dx \\ \text{ or } \int\limits \sqrt{e^{8x}-25} dx?\]
the 2nd one
is this fill in the blank or did you mean to put u= something?
fill in the blank
ok so we do want to integrate this thing then... hmmm... I'm thinking of a trig sub...(not an algebraic one) let's play with this... \[\int\limits \sqrt{(e^{4x})^2-25} dx \\ \sqrt{25} \int\limits \sqrt{ \frac{1}{25} (e^{4x})^2-1} dx \\ 5 \int\limits \sqrt{(\frac{e^{4x}}{5})^2-1} dx \\ \text{ recall } \tan^2(\theta)=\sec^2(\theta)-1 \\ \text{ so \let } \sec(\theta)=\frac{e^{4x}}{5} \\ \]
differentiate both sides
what did you use as your u?
nothing you need a trig sub to do this one
well you could replace theta with u if you want to
\[\sec(u)=\frac{e^{4x}}{5}\]
still need to differentiate both sides
if you want you can solve that for u
to fill in that space...
Its asking for a u though
I already replaced theta with u...
and then I just said you could solve that for u if you want
so that you can fill in that blank
I will solve for u if you need... \[\sec(u)=\frac{e^{4x}}{5} \\ u=arcsec(\frac{e^{4x}}{5}) \] could you try differentiate sec(u)=e^(4x)/5
u=e^(4x)
if you do that as u you will still need to make another substitution later
sec(u)=e^(4x)/5 gets all the substitutions out of the way so the next step is just to integrate
it will be a pretty easy integral by the way
if you are using a table to integrate you have not made that very clear your table is not universal
yeah, sorry I am having to use tables to integrate. I have the whole integrate. I just needed the fill in the blanks I had posted
your table is not universal though can you post a copy of your table
ok you suggested earlier that we do u=e^(4x) what happens when you find du
du would be 4e^4xdx
\[\int\limits \sqrt{(e^{4x})^2-5^2} dx \\ \text{ Let } u=e^{4x} \\ du=4 e^{4x} dx \\ \] guess what e^(4x) can be written as u (the one in our du)
\[u=e^{4x} \\ du=4 u dx \\ \frac{1}{4} \frac{1}{u} du=dx\]
so what does our integral look like in terms of u
it should make it clear what formula number you want to use after that
\[(1/4u)\sqrt{u^2-25}\]
\[\frac{1}{4} \int\limits \frac{\sqrt{u^2-5^2}}{u} du\]
what number does this look like in your book
hint look at the ones between 39 and 42
your formula is in there somewhere
its 41, thank you
yep replace the u with's e^(4x) and a's with 5 and multiple that whole result by 1/4
