In today’s lecture , the students and I were working on finding integrals of base other than e functions. We worked on several problems with different wrinkles

basis other than e
0:06
um applications right so here what we
0:09
have is this I gave you the general form
0:12
right a to the U is 1 L of a a the U
0:15
plus C now here this is pretty simple we
0:18
just have to apply the formula straight
0:19
up but now there's a difference here I
0:21
have
0:22
4X DX so I have to use what my use
0:26
substitution first I can't just do it
0:29
like this I have to use a use
0:30
substitution okay because if you were to
0:33
just so much you may be tempted to say
0:35
this is equal to
0:37
one this is equal to 1 4
0:42
right * 4x + C that's not true we can't
0:45
do that because it's a negative so it's
0:47
not right so what we do is we have to
0:49
use the U substitution so we can get to
0:51
this point so I'm going to let you
0:53
equals what wait M I have a question yes
0:55
sir for uh the first part of D1 where it
0:59
says 3x DX we do the thing where it's
1:01
like Ln 3 * 3 * 1 or would we do 1 over
1:04
ln3 right here yeah you can stop here
1:07
and that's it you're done you don't
1:09
would we do that or would we do the one
1:11
ln3 * no I'm finding the derivative here
1:15
so it's asking find the integral yeah
1:17
here we find the integral okay so that's
1:19
not the derivative this is the
1:20
derivative okay and this is the integral
1:23
first you want to find the derivative to
1:24
find the derivative is Ln of a over a to
1:27
the U * D over DX or if you don't like
1:30
this uh way it looks here you can show
1:32
Ln of a * a u * U Prime and then we did
1:36
the example 3 x Prime is Ln of 3 * 3 x *
1:40
da of X which is 1 and we use this the
1:43
same thing here 3 X2 - x right the
1:46
derivative is Ln of 3 which is Ln of a *
1:50
a to U which is 3 X2 - x * the
1:53
derivative of that which is 2x - 1 so we
1:56
don't need use that to find an Ral no
1:58
okay right now for the integral this is
2:00
the new formula a u is 1 n a * a u + C
2:07
right so now we have a problem we have
2:10
4X we can't just apply this formula
2:12
straight up we have to use a
2:14
transformation we have to use what the U
2:16
substitution right so I'm going to let U
2:18
equal
2:20
whatx and du
2:23
is DX negative DX or 1 DX right and then
2:28
so now we can go back and see this is -4
2:31
to the U duu and now we can apply
2:35
that right so now what is
2:39
it L4 time don't forget your negative
2:43
right
2:46
l u which is 4 to the
2:50
what X plus c c all right so you see
2:54
what we did here so you have to go an
2:56
extra step you have to when this is not
2:58
just like straight up four to the U
3:01
eight to the U you have to use a u sub
3:03
actually it's it's the same result but
3:06
you can't just do that like that yeah
3:08
it's not the same because before that we
3:10
didn't have a negative remember oh the
3:12
negative was missing that's so it's not
3:14
technically the same result right so now
3:17
let's go on your sheet and we're going
3:23
to let's go on U your paper and I want
3:28
you all to work on U there's a problem
3:30
there
3:34
x² so how we going to solve this one
3:36
here we have
3:39
X2 + 2x DX we trying to find the an der
3:43
so what are we going to do
3:47
here you can split it out split it out
3:50
good way to start so we have x² DX right
3:54
plus
3:55
2X DX so what's the antiderivative of
3:58
that uh
4:01
X over three right now here because
4:04
you've already done it you already know
4:06
what that's going to be
4:07
[Music]
4:09
right2 2 c 2 X+ C because the outcome is
4:15
going to be the same as the last one if
4:16
you use a u substitution you going to
4:18
get to the same thing just remember that
4:22
right now let me challenge you all a
4:24
little bit what if you have
4:27
this two to the
4:31
x² 2X and then X
4:36
DX I want you all to try and work with
4:39
this I give you about 5 minutes to come
4:40
up with the solution so we have 2 x² X
4:44
DX I want you to find the an of
4:58
that
5:28
for
5:36
got it yeah all right
5:39
so what did you do I just let = x² let =
5:45
x² we all good on that du will be what
5:48
du is 2x DX all right 2x DX and then and
5:52
then you oh and 12 du is X DX X DX right
5:59
and now go back here and just replace it
6:00
so this is two to
6:03
what to U du du and now we can find of
6:08
that right yeah so that's right 12 right
6:12
time
6:14
2 2 U
6:17
is M plus plus C all right so you see
6:22
you have to use your Transformations you
6:23
have to be very careful to recognize
6:25
that there's a relationship between this
6:27
and that okay
6:35
I'm I'm not reason it I'm keeping it
6:37
there so here we use this U substitution
6:40
again we went let U = x² okay du is 2x
6:47
DX Y is D oh it and then X DX is 12 duu
6:52
right so if you go back and you can
6:54
substitute x² by U and then your 1/2
6:57
cannot you canot forget that so this is
6:59
now
7:01
and then you know that thetive of 2 the
7:04
U is 1 l a a u plus C so we justl it in
7:10
there right now let's try to see if you
7:12
can work on this one here this is more
7:14
challenging 3 2x 1 + 3 2x DX so I want
7:18
you all to go ahead and try to work on
7:20
that on your own like
7:22
twice um you have several options you
7:25
can use like different different things
7:27
here so whatever you you think going
7:29
work for you all
7:35
right so you have two options so let me
7:38
know what you want to
7:40
do all right so
7:43
basically
7:45
hold
7:47
dig
7:49
dig oh he likes to dig all right so you
7:53
see so we have 3 2x right over 1 + 3 2x
7:57
DX so we know automatically that there
8:01
going to this is going to involve a you
8:03
substitution right Kevin yes so now what
8:06
I want to do is this I want to see if I
8:08
can establish something between this and
8:11
this here right so I know by definition
8:14
that Dera of 3 2x is natural of 3 * 3 2x
8:18
*
8:20
2 right which is 2 natur of 3 * 3
8:25
2x now I know that if I let u = 1 + 3 2x
8:31
the derivative of U will be 2 natural of
8:33
3 * 3 2x DX
8:37
right the derivative of
8:42
that so what's the derivative of 3
8:46
2x uh we found it out there yeah right
8:49
there right so if you find the of one is
8:52
zero right so this is 2 natural of 3 * 3
8:56
2x DX which is what we trying to get get
8:58
to we try to find something that so that
9:00
we can establish a relationship between
9:02
this and
9:04
that right so now I know that 3 through
9:07
2x DX is Du over 2 natural I'm just
9:11
trying to solve for this alone so I can
9:13
substitute that up here okay you see it
9:16
now so this is where I got the one/ two
9:18
natural three from you you put at the
9:21
bottom bottom cuz I'm I'm trying to find
9:24
this by itself right yeah so now now
9:27
that I find this by itself I can take I
9:29
can put this one
9:31
outside right because this is one two
9:33
natural 3 * du I can put it aside just
9:36
like we've been doing the entire time
9:38
the only reason why this looks a little
9:39
weird is because we have a natural
9:43
LA right and then now that gives me what
9:47
du over U oh you see it and now I know
9:53
what's anti- one over U is natural of U
9:56
plus C and I don't forget to add this to
9:59
it I'll do
10:00
you and then I replace this by 1 + 3
10:05
2x do that make sense now yeah all let
10:09
me get so the separated Ln of absolute
10:11
value of U that's like what we did like
10:13
before before yeah and then you replace
10:15
You by original value so I'll give you
10:17
another one that's similar to this and I
10:19
want you all to do it so let's say we
10:21
have wait hold on let me uh yeah go
10:23
ahead and write that so what if we
10:28
had
10:37
all right so let's do this you guys go
10:39
ahead and do this one
10:40
2X over 5 + 2x DX I want you to find the
10:45
an using the same method that we use
10:58
here
