Integration.

OpenStudy (babynini):

\[\int\limits_{}^{}e^\sqrt[3]{x}\]

OpenStudy (babynini):

I have a bunch of tools I could use, i'm just not sure which to apply here?

OpenStudy (zarkon):

start with u sub

OpenStudy (zarkon):

then do by parts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

put \[x ^{\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }}=y,x=y^3,dx=3y^2dy\] \[\int\limits e \sqrt[3]{x}dx=3 \int\limits y^2e^ydy+c\] integrate by parts

OpenStudy (babynini):

so my usub would be u=x^(1/3) ?

OpenStudy (zarkon):

yes

OpenStudy (babynini):

\[du=\frac{ 1 }{ x }x^{-2/3}\]

OpenStudy (babynini):

dx

OpenStudy (babynini):

oo yes that is what I meant.

OpenStudy (babynini):

but then what? o.0

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[\large\rm du=\frac{1}{3}x^{-2/3}dx\qquad\to\qquad 3x^{2/3}du=dx\]Or written like this,\[\large\rm 3(x^{1/3})^2du=dx\]Do you see how you can make use of your \(\large\rm u\) here?

OpenStudy (babynini):

I can just put 3(u)^2 ?

OpenStudy (babynini):

\[\int\limits_{}^{}e^u*3u^2du\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Yessss, good.

OpenStudy (babynini):

Then for integration by parts we choose \[u=e^u\]\[dv=3u^2du\]

OpenStudy (babynini):

hmm or maybe not because then we got another weird integration

zepdrix (zepdrix):

We want to "destroy" the polynomial portion, right? Break it down? So that should be our u. Wow you should have used a different letter for your first substitution. I would recommend using M and N for your parts maybe.

OpenStudy (babynini):

haha ok and..I forget the antiderrivative of e^u. is that just e^u?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

yes :)

OpenStudy (babynini):

\[e^u*3u^2-\int\limits_{}^{}e^u*6udu\] then we must do it again?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Mmmm good.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

ya, another round of parts.

OpenStudy (babynini):

\[e^u*3u^3-6e^u*u+6e^u\]

OpenStudy (babynini):

Would be the final answer? +C

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Close to final answer, yes. *cough cough* Undo your sub.

OpenStudy (babynini):

oh my. The u from the very beginning o.o heh I forgot.

OpenStudy (babynini):

\[3e^\sqrt[3]{x}*(\sqrt[3]{x})^2-6e^\sqrt[3]{x}*\sqrt[3]{x}+6e^\sqrt[3]{x}+C\]oh..I could have simplified that a whole lot.

OpenStudy (babynini):

but is that it?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Yes, good job :)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Wolfram confirms: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=integral+of+e%5E(x%5E1%2F3) They did a little bit of fancy factoring, that's why theirs looks a tad different.

OpenStudy (babynini):

yaaay! So for e, do you think it's usually wisest to start with a u sub? just typically

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Bahh I dunno :)

OpenStudy (babynini):

haha ok :)

OpenStudy (babynini):

thanks!!
