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

In summary, to solve §5x*e^(x^2)dx, you first use the derivative of e^(x^2) to find the solution, which is 2xe^(x^2). Then, using the formula \int F(x) dx = f(x) + C, where \frac{dF}{dx} = f, you can solve for \int 5x e^(x^2)dx, which simplifies to 5/2(e^(x^2)) + C.

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)

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 [itex] \frac{d}{dx}(e^{x^2}) = 2xe^{x^2} [/itex], which is correct!

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

if:

[tex]\frac{dF}{dx} = f [/tex]

?
 
  • #3
Hopefully you know that if F'= f, then [itex]F= \int f dx + C[/itex]. Since
[tex](e^{x^2})'= 2xe^{x^2}[/tex], what is
[tex]\int 2x e^{x^2}dx[/tex]?

and, from that, what is
[tex]\int x e^{x^2}dx[/itex]?
 
  • #4
oh no, sorry the answer is: (5/2)*e^(x^2)+C... (at work, brb)
 
  • #5
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.
 
  • #7
(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..

  • #8
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.
 
  • #9
so.. :

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

are you to solve

[tex]\int 5 x e^{x^2}dx[/tex]

?

Then use the derivative of:
[tex] e^{x^2} [/tex]

And use the:
[tex] \int F(x) dx = f(x) + C [/tex]

where:
[tex]\frac{dF}{dx} = f [/tex]

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

Like this right?:

[tex]\int 5 x e^{x^2}dx[/tex] = 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.

Great :)
 

What are the basic rules for solving integrals?

The basic rules for solving integrals include the Power Rule, the Constant Multiple Rule, the Sum Rule, and the Substitution Rule.

How do you use the Power Rule to solve integrals?

The Power Rule states that the integral of x^n is equal to (x^(n+1))/(n+1) + C, where C is a constant. This can be used to solve integrals involving polynomials.

What is the Constant Multiple Rule for integrals?

The Constant Multiple Rule states that the integral of a constant times a function is equal to the constant multiplied by the integral of the function. In other words, the constant can be factored out of the integral.

What is the Sum Rule for integrals?

The Sum Rule states that the integral of a sum of functions is equal to the sum of the integrals of each individual function. This rule is useful for breaking down complex integrals into simpler ones.

How do you use the Substitution Rule to solve integrals?

The Substitution Rule, also known as u-substitution, involves substituting a new variable for a part of the integrand. This can be useful for solving integrals involving trigonometric functions or other complex expressions.
