Algebra.Com's Answer #159988 by jsmallt9(3758)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! a) ∫( (x^2x) / ((3 + x^3)^2) ) Substitution, u = x^3 \n" ); document.write( "I assume this is supposed to be: \n" ); document.write( "a) ∫ \n" ); document.write( "Actually a better substitution would be: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Multiplying both sides of this by dx we get: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Looking at the original integral we can see the \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Now we can substitute u for \n" ); document.write( "a) ∫ \n" ); document.write( "This can be rewritten as: \n" ); document.write( "a) ∫ \n" ); document.write( "If the integral above is not obvious to you, then use a second substitution: v = 3+u. Either way we should get: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "b) ∫ \( x^7 cos x^8dx) Substitution u = x^8 \n" ); document.write( "I assume the \"\\" is a typo and that the integral is: \n" ); document.write( "b) ∫ \n" ); document.write( "Again we start by finding the derivative of \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Multiplying both sides by dx: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Using the Commutative Property on the original integral we can see the right side of the above equation in the integral: \n" ); document.write( "∫ \n" ); document.write( "So we can now substitute u for \n" ); document.write( "∫ \n" ); document.write( "This is a pretty simple integral to find: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
