Click For Summary
To integrate the expressions, the first integral can be simplified by substituting \( u = \frac{x}{y} \), leading to \( \int u \, d(u) = \frac{1}{2} u^2 + C \), which results in \( \frac{1}{2} \left(\frac{x}{y}\right)^2 + C \). For the second integral, with \( u = xy \), the integration becomes \( \int \frac{d(u)}{u^3} \), which can be solved using the power rule, yielding \( -\frac{1}{2u^2} + C \) or \( -\frac{1}{2(xy)^2} + C \). The discussion highlights the importance of correctly applying integration techniques and recognizing substitution methods. Mistakes in initial assumptions were acknowledged, emphasizing a collaborative learning environment. Understanding these integration techniques is crucial for solving similar problems effectively.

how would you integrate

1. $\displaystyle \int \left(\frac{x}{y}\right) d\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)$

2. $\displaystyle \int \frac{d(xy)}{(xy)^3}$

if the two is just in this form I could easily answer it

$\displaystyle \int d\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)=(\frac{x}{y})$

$\displaystyle \int d(xy)=(xy)$

but I don't know how to treat $\frac{x}{y}$ in 1 and the $(xy)^3$ in 2.

please help!

Hello.

1) \ u=\dfrac{x}{y}

\displaystyle \int u \ d(u)=u= \dfrac{x}{y}

2) \ u=(xy)

\displaystyle \int \dfrac{d(u)}{u^3}=?

Can you follow?

Regards.

What we want here is:

$$\int u\,du=\frac{1}{2}u^2+C$$

Right. I I'm wrong.

I wrote:

\int u\,du

And I thought in:

\int \,du

I'm sorry.

Thread 'Problem with calculating projections of curl using rotation of contour'
Hello! I tried to calculate projections of curl using rotation of coordinate system but I encountered with following problem. Given: ##rot_xA=\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial y}-\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial z}=0## ##rot_yA=\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial x}=1## ##rot_zA=\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial y}=0## I rotated ##yz##-plane of this coordinate system by an angle ##45## degrees about ##x##-axis and used rotation matrix to...
