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

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving the integral of e^(x^2) and using that result to solve the integral of 5x*e^(x^2)dx. Participants clarify the application of the chain rule in differentiation, confirming that the derivative of e^(x^2) is 2xe^(x^2). They then demonstrate how to apply this result to compute the integral, arriving at the solution of (5/2)e^(x^2) + C for the integral of 5x*e^(x^2)dx. The conversation also touches on the importance of understanding integration techniques and the use of LaTeX for mathematical expressions. Overall, the thread emphasizes the relationship between differentiation and integration in solving these types of problems.

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

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.
