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.

Fotorealismo

Guerrino Boatto, Venice's St. Barnaba Church and canal Il fotorealismo è un genere di pittura basato sull'uso di una o più fotografie dalle quali l'artista prende le informazioni necessarie da utilizzare poi nel processo della creazione dell'opera, in genere ad olio o ad acrilico, al fine di avere un aspetto finale il più simile possibile alla fotografia. Indice 1 Storia 2 Lista dei fotorealisti 3 Note 4 Voci correlate 5 Altri progetti Storia | Il fotorealismo è un movimento che nasce negli Stati Uniti d'America alla fine degli anni sessanta [1] sulla scia della Pop Art [2] [3] [4] , e insieme condividono il carattere reazionario verso la travolgente ascesa dei media, che alla metà del ventesimo secolo si trasforma in un fenomeno di massa talmente imponente da minacciare il valore dell'immagine nell'arte.
