Homework Statement


Question 1:
Evaluate the indefinite integral.
[tex]\int \frac{\cos x}{2 \sin x + 6} \, dx[/tex]

Question 2:

Evaluate the indefinite integral.
[tex]\int \frac{2 \; dx}{x \ln (6 x)}[/tex]
NOTE: The absolute value of x has to be entered as abs(x).

The Attempt at a Solution


Question 1:
Let u = sinx, du = cosx dx
= [tex]\int \frac{1}{2 u + 6} \, du[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{2} \int \frac{1}{u + 3} \, du[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{2} \int (u + 3)^{-1} \, du[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{2} * [ 1 + 1 ][/tex]
= 1 + C

Question 2:
[tex]\int \frac{2 \; dx}{x \ln (6 x)}[/tex]
Let u = ln(6x), du = 1 / 6x
= [tex]12 \int \frac{1 \; du}{\ln (u)}[/tex]
= [tex]12 \int \frac{1 \; du}{\ln (u)}[/tex]
= [tex]12 \int (\ln (u))^{-1}\, du[/tex]
Since inverse of ln is exp
= [tex]12 \e^(u)[/tex]
= [tex]12 \e^(ln(6x))[/tex]
= 12 * 6 x = 72 x + C

What is the Integral of [tex]\int\frac{dx}{x}[/tex]

That's essentially what you have for # 1.

You let [tex]u=\ln x[/tex]

So what is it that you still have [tex]\ln x[/tex] in your Integral? Replace it with "u" completely.

Let u = ln(6x), du = 1 / 6x
= [tex]12 \int \frac{1}{u} \ du[/tex]
= [tex]12 [\ln(u)][/tex]
= [tex]12 [\ln(ln(6x))][/tex] + C

Are there any mistakes?

Good! Did you get the first one too?
 
Yep, I got Question #1. I made u = sinx+3 instead of u = sinx.

Thank you rocomath!

One more question, can i simplify ln(ln(x))?
