Q & A
What is the indefinite integral of 5 raised to the x dx?
-The indefinite integral of 5 raised to the x dx is 5^x divided by the derivative of x (which is 1) times the natural log of 5, plus the constant of integration, so the answer is 5^x * ln(5) + C.
How does the formula for the integral of a to the u work?
-The integral of a to the u du is equal to a to the u divided by u prime times ln(a), where u prime is the derivative of u with respect to x. This formula is applicable when u is a linear function.
What is the indefinite integral of 3 raised to the 7x?
-The indefinite integral of 3 raised to the 7x is 3^(7x) divided by the derivative of 7x (which is 7) times the natural log of 3, plus the constant of integration, so the answer is 3^(7x) * ln(3)/7 + C.
How do you find the indefinite integral of 9 raised to the (4x + 5)?
-The indefinite integral of 9 raised to the (4x + 5) is 9^(4x + 5) divided by the derivative of (4x + 5) (which is 4) times the natural log of 9, plus the constant of integration, so the answer is 9^(4x + 5) * ln(9)/4 + C.
What is the u substitution method used for in integration?
-The u substitution method is used in integration to simplify the integrand by replacing a part of the expression with a new variable u, making the integration easier to perform.
How do you verify if the indefinite integral of an expression is correct?
-To verify if the indefinite integral is correct, you can differentiate the result with respect to x and check if you get the original expression. The derivative of a constant is zero, which helps in simplifying the verification process.
What is the indefinite integral of 4x times 5 raised to the x squared dx?
-The indefinite integral of 4x times 5 raised to the x squared dx is 2 times 5 raised to the x squared divided by the natural log of 5, plus the constant of integration, so the answer is 2*5^(x^2) * ln(5) + C.
How do you use the u substitution method to solve the integral of 9 x squared times 8 raised to the x cubed dx?
-To solve the integral of 9 x squared times 8 raised to the x cubed dx using u substitution, let u equal to x cubed, so du is 3x squared dx. Then replace x cubed with u and dx with du/3x squared. The indefinite integral becomes 3 times the integral of 8 raised to u du. Finally, replace u with x cubed to get the result, which is 3*8^(x^3) * ln(8)/3 + C.
What is the importance of the natural log in integration involving exponential functions?
-The natural log is important in integration involving exponential functions because it helps in simplifying the expression when integrating a constant raised to a variable. It is used in the formula for the integral of a to the u, where the natural log of the base is multiplied by the derivative of u.
What is the role of the constant of integration (C) in indefinite integrals?
-The constant of integration (C) is added to the indefinite integral to account for the arbitrary constant that arises from the indefinite nature of the integration process. It represents the constant that can be added to any antiderivative without changing the derivative of the function.
How does the derivative of a constant raised to a variable affect the integration process?
-The derivative of a constant raised to a variable is equal to the constant to the variable times the variable prime (the derivative of the variable) times the natural log of the constant. This relationship is crucial in integration by parts and substitution methods, where it helps to simplify the integrand and find the antiderivative.
