I'm not surprised.
 
Do you mean e^[3ln(x)]?

Try and simplify that. Remember ln(y) is the inverse operation to e^y

So, is this e^3*lnx or e^(3*lnx)?

First, you can separate them into two integrals of e^(3*lnx) and e^3x. I assume you can solve the second one.

So, for the integral of e^(3*lnx), I'll give you a hint.

3*lnx = ln(x^3)
 
Thank you. I got that the e^lnx = x, but didn't know what to do with the 3. I get it now.
