SUMMARY

The integral of 9r4^r dr can be evaluated using integration by parts. The user correctly identified u = r and dv = 4^r dr, leading to the expression: ∫ 9r4^r dr = 9[(r4^r)/ln(4) - (4^r)/ln(4)^2]. The final result requires the addition of the constant of integration, +C. The user is advised to ensure that the multiplication by 9 is applied correctly to the entire expression for the final answer.

Homework Statement



Evaluate the integral:
the integral of 9r4^r dr


Homework Equations



integral of f(x)g'(x)dx = f(x)g(x) - integral of f'(x)g(x)dx

integral of udv = uv - integral vdu

u = f(x), dv = g'(x) dx

The Attempt at a Solution



I first started by pull the 9 out to the front:
9 integral of r4^r dr
I then set u=r, du=dr, dv=4^r, v=(4^r)/ln(4)
I used the formula: integral of udv = uv - integral vdu
and got: the integral of 9r4^r dr = [(r4^r)/ln4] - the inegral of (4^r)/ln4 dr
I then pulled the 1/ln4 out of the last part and got:
the integral of 9r4^r dr = [(r4^r)/ln4] - 1/ln4[the inegral of 4^r dr]

I was also able to get the anti-derivative of the [the inegral of 4^r dr] as (1/ln(4)) 4^r
I got stuck here, i don't know how to put all of it back together, help please?

You did all the hard stuff already, though you forgot to multiply the 9 through.

This is what you said you have so far:

[tex]\int 9r4^rdr=9\left(\frac{r4^r}{\log 4}-\frac{4^r}{(\log 4)^2}\right)[/tex]

Aren't you done except for tacking on +C to the end?
 
yes, but does it needs to be simplified? how do you do that?
my assignment is online and it keeps on telling me that I'm getting the wrong answer.
