Well on Friday we turned in the last half of our take home test. The Professor is very strict and if you don't turn in your test at the beginning of class you're out of luck and get a zero. So after we had turned them in, a classmate asked her to show us the solution to this problem. She flat...
I figured it was too good to be true. Thanks. The assignment's due friday, I figure once I get it back, I'll ask the Prof for a solution and if she doesn't have one, i'll go over her head for the points. I've spent way to much time and brought it up to her too often to just drop it.
I got the same reply from the Professor, it's correct as written and very challenging but supposedly possible.
With the derivative though, I can't see how you would eliminate things in a way that would leave just e^x*arctan(x).
Although, I was trying a new method and felt like I almost...
Unfortunately Roshan, it's indefinite.
We've definitely gone over infinite series like packmell suggests, I've seriously considered integrating it that way if I can't find any other option.
Thanks again for all the help, I've submitted another email asking the professor to review the...
Yet another failed solution. I tried a substitution for e^x and managed to get to ∫1/((ln(x))^2+1)dx
But, once again, that's as far as it'll go.
I'll have to take it into her again and have her show a step or two that she would take. In the past she's been a big stickler for Algebraic...
I'm pretty sure it has to be wrong. The test has 60 problems. The other 59 took me about 10-15 hours total. This one problem has taken at least 8 so far and I'm still no closer to an answer.
I'm working on a take home exam in my Calculus 2 class. The exam is completely done except for one problem and I desperately need help. I've put so much time into this one problem that I'm ready to just miss it and take the hit.
