    The indefinite integral and its "argument"

    Homework Statement The indefinite integral $$\int \, $$ and it's argument. The indefinite integral has a function of e.g ## \cos (x^2) \ ## or ## \ e^{tan (x)} \ ## If the argument of ## \cos (x^2) \ ## is ## \ x^2 \ ## then the argument of ## \ e^{tan(x)} \ ## is ## \ x \ ## or ## \ tan (x) \...

    Find the difference quotient of ln(x³ - 5)

    So $$ \frac {3x^2h+3xh^2+h^3} { \ x^3-5 \ } $$ = h?

    Find the difference quotient of ln(x³ - 5)

    Mark here is what i have so far $$\lim_{h\to 0} {\frac {\ln((x+h)^3 -5) - ln (x^3 - 5)} h} $$ $$\lim_{h\to 0}{\frac {\ln (x^3 +3x^2h +3xh^2 +h^3 -5) -ln (x^3 - 5)} h} $$ $$\lim_{h\to 0}{\frac {\ln (x^3 -5 +3x^2h +3xh^2 +h^3) -ln (x^3-5)} h} $$ I factored and used the product rule $$\lim_{h\to...
