Hi, I was wondering if somebody could please help me integrate Integrate e^2x cos (e^2x).
Its on page 532 of Cambridge Y11 3U

Also, Integrate (sin(e^(-2x))/(e^2x)

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=(sin(e^(-2x))/(e^2x)

Thank you

Sorry still don't know where/how to access LaTeX


1) int [e^2x cose^2x dx = 0.5 int cos e^2x d e^2x = 0.5 sin e^2x + C


2) int ( sin e^-2x)/e^-2x = int sin e^-2x e^-2x dx = -0.5 int sin e^-2x de^-2x

= +0.5 cos e^-2x + C

+1 very nice

OP: if you're not sure what drong0ski did, try using substitutions instead, with u=e^2x for the first one, u=e^(-2x) for the second one

He did exactly the same thing, but in a more elegant way --> instead of taking u = e^blah, he modified the differential change instead, making it d(e^blah)

Thanks a lot, but I'm not quite sure how you got to the bit in bold? Is that trig substitution?

In this case I'm doing what is normally done with substitution without the bother of the process. For this you have to learn that d f(x) = f'(x)dx; looking at this in reverse f'(x)dx = d f(x) a more general form of the DIFFERENTIAL - you are almost learning only the most basic form dx, du, dt etc.

When I see xdx I see it as potential .5 dx2 , [1/4]d(2x2 - 7) , -[1/14] d(7x^2 + 1) . Which one we use depends on the situation at hand.

Thus in our case e^2xdx = [1/2]d e^2x

Similarly e^x sin e^x dx = sin e^x de^x = dsin e^x = d [sin e^x - 5] if this last were at all useful.

All this would look much nicer using LaTeX.

It's embarassing - but how? Childlike - step-by-step what do I have to do. While trying to post what steps must I follow to access LaTeX. Under precious arrangement I've been using it extensively. I'm not like your generation - very well-versed in the ways of the web.

Not sure if there's an easier way, but you could:

1). Open the provided link http://www.codecogs.com/latex/eqneditor.php (perhaps bookmark this)

2). Use this equation editor

3). When finished, copy the text into the reply box, with "[_tex]" before and "[_/tex]" [with no underscore ("_")] after the code copied from the website.

e.g. "[_tex] \frac{a}{b} [_/tex]" without the underscores ("_") would produce:

Ah! Thanks. I'll look at this later pwnage.

Whichever method is easiest I guess. I was actually using the latex editor but using the [_tex] input instead of copying the img.

Now that I know I can input in TeX directly it's easier for me now. I just have to read up on TeX. Thanks for your help Aquawhite.

There are two approaches one can use. Reverse chain rule or formal substitution of u = e2x.

Reverse chain rule uses the fact that:



The integral is



Which can be expressed as



By observation you should be able to 'recognise' the chain rule derivative in the integrand where f ' is the cos(...) function and g' is the 2e2x. So by inspection it becomes



A similar approach can be used for the other integral...

Thanks that cleared it up a lot :)
