S6.7.1.13 natural log Integration

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers on the integration of the function \( e^{\sqrt[3]{x}} \) with respect to \( x \). Participants explore various methods for solving this integral, including substitution and integration by parts, while discussing the steps involved in reaching a solution.

Discussion Character

  • Mathematical reasoning
  • Homework-related
  • Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant proposes an initial expression for the integral, suggesting a three-term answer but expresses uncertainty about the approach.
  • Another participant confirms the initial substitution \( u = x^{1/3} \) and provides a method for using integration by parts twice.
  • A later post reiterates the substitution and indicates that integration by parts will be necessary, confirming the earlier steps.
  • Further elaboration on the integration by parts process is provided, detailing the setup for the first and second applications of integration by parts.
  • Participants collectively arrive at a similar final expression for the integral, though the steps leading to it are discussed in detail without consensus on the correctness of each step.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the substitution method and the need for integration by parts, but there is no consensus on the correctness of each individual step or the final expression derived.

Contextual Notes

Some steps in the integration process are not fully resolved, and there are dependencies on the correctness of the integration by parts applications. The discussion does not clarify all assumptions or potential errors in the calculations presented.

$$\displaystyle
\int e^{\sqrt[3]{x}} \, dx
= 3\left(x^\frac{2}{3}
-2\sqrt[3]{x}
+2\right){e}^\sqrt[3]{x}+C \\
u=x^{1/3} \therefore 3{x}^{\frac{2}{3}} du
= dx $$
$\text{not sure if this is how to start to get to a 3 term answer} $

You're on the right track...

$$u=x^{1/3},\quad u^3=x,\quad du=\dfrac13x^{-2/3}\Rightarrow3u^2du=dx$$

Now make the sub and use integration by parts twice.

$\text{so then we have} $
$$\displaystyle
3\int{u}^{2}e^{u} \ dx$$
$\text{looks like IBP 2 times} $

$\text{IBP 1}$
$$\displaystyle
I=3\int{u}^{2}e^{u} \ du \\
\begin{align}
{u_1} & = {u}^{2} & {dv_1}&={e}^{u} \ d{u} & \\
\frac{1}{2}{du_1}&=du& {v_1}&={e}^{u}
\end{align}$$
$\text{IBP 2}$
$$\displaystyle
I=3\left[{u}^{2}{e}^{u}-2\int u e^{u} \ du \right] \\

\begin{align}
{u_2} & = {u}^{2} & {dv_2 }&={e}^{u} \ d{u} & \\
{du_2}&=du& {v_2}&={e}^{u}
\end{align}$$
$\text{factor and back substittute}$
$$I= 3\left(x^\frac{2}{3}
