SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on solving integral and exponential problems, specifically addressing three mathematical expressions. The participants emphasize the importance of understanding antiderivatives, particularly noting that the antiderivative of 1/(1+x^2) is crucial for problem one. For problem two, the correct approach involves recognizing that the antiderivative of 1/x^2 is not ln(x). The discussion encourages the use of tools like Wolfram Alpha for verification and simplification of complex integrals.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of integral calculus concepts
  • Familiarity with antiderivatives and their properties
  • Basic knowledge of exponential functions
  • Experience with mathematical problem-solving tools like Wolfram Alpha
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the antiderivative of 1/(1+x^2) and its applications
  • Learn about the properties of exponential functions and their integrals
  • Explore techniques for simplifying complex integrals
  • Practice using Wolfram Alpha for solving integral problems
USEFUL FOR

Students studying calculus, mathematics educators, and anyone looking to improve their skills in solving integral and exponential problems.

These problems are so easy I hardly ever see them or get to apply there rules. So I need see if I'm doing these few problem right.

Homework Equations


1. use a/b+c 2. use a+b/c

The Attempt at a Solution


1. x+(x^2/2)
2.x+lnx(e^x^2)^2= e^2x^2

I await your responses thanks.

One way to learn to try some website like below:-
http://integrals.wolfram.com/index.jsp

then rework your solutions with the tools you have learnt.
simplify the difficult part into simpler ones and work on it.

Wanna try first? Thanks
 
You're a bit off on 1 and 2. For 1, the trick is to add and subtract 1 from the numerator and then divide. Knowing the antiderivative of 1/(1+x^2) is helpful here.

For 2, just divide, which is what you seemed to have done. But the antiderivative of 1/x^2 is not ln(x).

For 3, if all you have to do is simply, then yes you should get e^(2x^2).
