SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on integrating two expressions: $\displaystyle \int \left(\frac{x}{y}\right) d\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)$ and $\displaystyle \int \frac{d(xy)}{(xy)^3}$. The first integral is simplified using the substitution $u = \frac{x}{y}$, leading to the result $\frac{1}{2}u^2 + C$. The second integral involves the substitution $u = xy$, which requires further clarification on how to handle the integral of $\frac{d(u)}{u^3}$. Participants emphasize the importance of correct substitutions in integration.

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.
