Integral Rules: Solve (e^(x^2))` and Use it to Solve §5x*e^(x^2)dx

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving the integral of \( e^{x^2} \) and using it to evaluate \( \int 5x e^{x^2} dx \). The derivative of \( e^{x^2} \) is established as \( \frac{d}{dx}(e^{x^2}) = 2xe^{x^2} \). Participants clarify the application of the chain rule in integration, ultimately concluding that \( \int 5x e^{x^2} dx = \frac{5}{2} e^{x^2} + C \). The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding integration techniques and the relationship between differentiation and integration.

Homework Statement



Solve (e^(x^2))` , use this result to solve §5x*e^(x^2)dx

Homework Equations



* is multiply
` is derive
1.§e^xdx=e^x+C
2.§e^kxdx=1/k*e^kx+C
3.§a^xdx=1/ina*a^x+C (a is a number)

4.§k*f(x)dx=k*§f(x)dx

The Attempt at a Solution



(I'm alittle confused as to how you 'use' the previous one to solve the next.
The previous example simply states this when solving: [in((x^2)+4)]`
[in((x^2)+4)]`= (in u)`= (1/u)*u`= 1/((x^2)+4)*2x=(2x)/((x^2)+4)
Then you're going to use this to solve §(3x)/((x^2)+4)dx
gives: §(3x)/((x^2)+4)dx = 3/2§(2x)/((x^2)+4)dx= 3/2*in((x^2)+4)+C.
It's not written, so I suppose they are using it by simply putting 3/2 on the outside, using rule 4)

So my try went:

(e^(x^2))`=(e`u)`*u`(um, using the corerule as it is named in norwegian) = e^(x^2)*2x
, which was correct.
Then you use it..
§5x*e^(x^2)dx=(ADSFSDF PRESSING SHIFT FOR A LONG TIME CAN*T WRITE LOL F:: WINDOWS LOL)
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Why not learn LaTeX if you hate pressing shift? :-)

what is:

in

integral?

corerule is called "chain rule" in english (I am swedish)

So you got \frac{d}{dx}(e^{x^2}) = 2xe^{x^2}, which is correct!

Now what is your result if you use this forumula:
\int F(x) dx = f(x) + C

if:

\frac{dF}{dx} = f

?
 
Hopefully you know that if F'= f, then F= \int f dx + C. Since
(e^{x^2})'= 2xe^{x^2}, what is
\int 2x e^{x^2}dx?

and, from that, what is
\int x e^{x^2}dx[/itex]?
 
oh no, sorry the answer is: (5/2)*e^(x^2)+C... (at work, brb)
 
Where do I find LaTeX?

Yeah, I meant chain rule. in is natural logarithm, e^inp=p.

My try went:
§5x*e^(x^2)dx=
5/2§2x*e^(x^2)dx (cause here is where you 'use it', right? =
5/2*2*(1/(1+1))x^(1+1)*(e^u)`*u` (chain rule) =
5/2*x^2*e^(x^2)*(1/(2+1))x^(2+1) =
5/2x^2*e^(x^2)*(1/3)x^3+C.
 
(e^u)`*u` I'm making a fault here? no chain rule in integral? e^(x^2)=e^(x^2)? , but why isn't chain rule being used? (like in §e^(3x-2)dx=(1/3)e^(3x-2)+C.) it looks like it should, heh. And how do the x^2 dissapear..
 
Last edited:
no, it's rule 2? e^(x^2)= 1/x^2*e^(x^2), it would make the x^2 disappear anyway.. and would make sense at the least.
 
so.. :

testing..
\int 5x e^{x^2}dx = 5/2 \int 2x e^{x^2}dx = 5/2\times2\times \frac{1}{1+1}x^1+1

are you to solve

\int 5 x e^{x^2}dx

?

Then use the derivative of:
e^{x^2}

And use the:
\int F(x) dx = f(x) + C

where:
\frac{dF}{dx} = f

That's all you have to do
 
  • #11
yes, i am. Yeah, I figured.

Like this right?:

\int 5 x e^{x^2}dx = 5/2§2xe^(x^2) = 5/2§ (and as in opposite of the above e^(x^2)*2x) = (e^(x^2)) , which gives simply 5/2(e^(x^2))+C.
