Stuck with Integration by Substitution












2












$begingroup$


I have a question where we need to find an integral using where "$u = 1+e^{x}$" for the equation "$int frac{e^{3x}}{1+e^{x}}dx$".



However when I substitute it I end up with "$int frac{(u-1)^{3}}{u}du$" instead of "$int frac{(u-1)^{2}}{u}du$" which is what I should be getting. Please help

    You are correct, if $u=1+e^x$, then $e^x=u-1$ and $e^{3x}=(u-1)^3$. Is it possible whatever solutions you are looking at are incorrect?

    Have checked on two websites and both somehow have $e^{3x}=(u−1)^{2}$ and they get the same answer as the one on in the answers section.

$begingroup$

$$u=1+e^x to du= e^x dx to dx =frac{du}{u-1}$$
Also $e^{3x}=(u-1)^3$



Put it together and we have:



$$int frac{e^{3x}}{1+e^x} dx = int frac{(u-1)^3}{u}cdot frac{du}{u-1} =int frac{(u-1)^2}{u} du $$ as required



Your mistake was that you didnt substitute in $du$ in for $dx$ when you applied the u-sub.

Kiel pontaj tankoj eblas konsideri ĉiujn memmovigaj rimedoj ebligantaj superi obstaklojn ĝis larĝeco 24 metroj rekte en spaco de bataloperacoj. Ties ĉefa tasko estas ebligi al la propraj taĉmentoj daŭrigi en rapida antaŭenirado sen senbezona reteniĝo. El tio pli-malpli rezultas taktikaj-teknikaj postuloj, kiujn ili devas plenumi. Precipe temas pri kapablo operacii komune kun unue-sinsekvaj taĉmentoj kaj transpontigi obstaklojn dum kelke da minutoj.

Tantalo (mitologio)

Image
Ĉi tiu artikolo temas pri mitologio. Por aliaj signifoj vidu la paĝon Tantalo (apartigilo) . Tantalo , laŭ Gioacchino Assereto. Laŭ la helena mitologio, Tantalo (el la greka Τάνταλος , ŝancelanta aŭ tre malfeliĉa ) estis filo de Zeŭso kaj la oceanidino Pluto, laŭ la plej divastigata versio. Li estis reĝo de Frigio [1] aŭ de la monto Sipilo, en Lidio (Malgrandazio) [2] kaj post sia morto li suferis eternan torturadon ĉe la Tartaro, la plej profunda parto de Hadeso, rezervita por la plej perversaj homoj. Tamen, kelkaj rakontoj asertas ke li estis reĝo de Argo aŭ de Korinto [3] , aŭ ke li migris norden el la monto Sipilo por akiri la tronon de Paflagonio, el kie Ilo forpelis lin pro tio, ke Tantalo forkaptis kaj seksperfortis lian fraton Ganimedon [4] , kaj tiel ofendis la diojn. Verŝajne li ankaŭ regis urbon en okcidenta Anatolio, kiun oni nomis Tantalis [5] pro li, aŭ Sipilo , pro la monto sur kies flanko ankoraŭ staras ĝiaj ruinaĵoj [6] . Laŭ la geografiisto Strabo,...
