Homework Statement
F(x)= (3^x)(e^x)dx
Homework Equations
F(u)=U^n=(U^(n+1))/n+1
The Attempt at a Solution
I said it equaled:
((3^(x+1))/(x+1))(e^x)
Do you know the chain rule ?gyza502 said:yes it is for a class. But, it is a practice problem. We haven't seen similar problems to this, so i am quite lost at the moment. I know the derivative of e^x is e^x.
An indefinite integral is a mathematical concept that represents the antiderivative of a given function. It is the inverse operation of differentiation, and it helps us find the original function when we know its derivative.
To solve an indefinite integral problem, we use a set of rules and techniques such as the power rule, substitution, integration by parts, and others. We also need to have a good understanding of basic integration rules and properties of integrals.
A definite integral has specific limits of integration and gives a numerical value as a result. On the other hand, an indefinite integral does not have limits of integration and gives a general expression as a solution. In other words, a definite integral represents the area under a curve, while an indefinite integral represents a family of curves.
Yes, indefinite integrals can have an infinite number of solutions. This is because an indefinite integral only gives a general expression as a solution, and we can add any constant to this expression, resulting in a different but equally valid solution.
Solving indefinite integrals is important because it helps us find the original function when we only know its derivative. This is crucial in many scientific fields, such as physics and engineering, where we often need to find the position, velocity, or acceleration of a moving object based on its derivative.
