    Antiderivative of 1/(1+e^x) - kinematics question

    Antiderivative of this? - kinematics a kinematics question v = 1 + e^x find x in terms of t given that x = 0 when t = 0 what i did: dx/dt = 1 + e^x dt/dx = 1/ (1+ e^x) so t = the antiderivative of 1/(1+ e^x) i tried and i kinda did this... loge(1 + e^x)/e^x + cbut it doesn't seem right

    Strategies for Solving Antiderivatives: Tips and Tricks for AP Calculus Students

    My AP calculus course has just started integration and so on. Because the exam date does not match up with my school's schedule, I'm kind of learning all of this in a disjointed manner at a faster rate than a normal class... I'm staring at this question, and am drawing a blank: find the...

    Antiderivative of (x^2 + 4x)^(1/3)

    If f is the function defined by f(x) = (x^2 + 4x)^(1/3) and g is an antiderivative of f such that g(5) = 7 then g(1) = I thought that I need to find the antiderivative of f but it turns out that it's really messy so I'm not sure, is there something I'm missing to be able to solve for g(1)?

    Antiderivative of a distance versus time graph

    What does the antiderivative of a distance versus time graph represent? What does the antiderivative of the anitiderivative of a distance versus time graph represent? I think the units would be meters multiplied by seconds. Thanks.

    . What is the antiderivative of e^arctan(x)?

    What is the antiderivative of earctan(x)? I can't seen to find this anywhere, although I suspect the answer would be pretty easy. This is the first problem of the first assignment in Calc 2. It is suposed to be review from Calc 1, but I can't figure it out. :cry:

    Antiderivative of x^2sin(x^2) with Given Initial Condition

    Problem states: Find and antiderivative F of f(x)=x^2\sin(x^2) such that F(1)=0. I thought at first that I would use u=x^2 to simplify the matter but I don't seem to get anywhere. I can't seem to figure out a way to start it off either...I was considering the Squeeze Theorem because they...

    Finding the antiderivative for fractions?

    Finding the antiderivative for fractions? Hello, I get antiderivatives and the idea behind them. But I still don't really comprehend how to apply it towards a fraction. We know that \int (\frac{1}{x}) dx = ln|x| So would the antiderivative of \int (\frac{4}{x}) dx = 4(ln x) ? But...

    Antiderivative for 1/[x²√(1+x²)]?

    The title sums it up. How can I find this? \int \frac{dx}{x^2 \sqrt{1+x^2}} I've tried a lot of different things to come up with an answer. My answers must be wrong, but I don't see where I'm making a mistake. Here's one way I've tried to solve the problem: Let u = (1+x^2)^{-1/2} v =...

    Derivative & Antiderivative - Graphical Analysis

    The general idea I have in mind when it comes to analyzing a graph that has a derivative f and its antiderivative F (\mathrm{C}=0) is the following: - When f is positive, F increases. - When f is negative, F decreases. However, I came across a couple of problems in my textbook that don't...

    Positive or Negative Acceleration? and Antiderivative of 1/(sin^2)?

    I have two quick questions. The first is, if a ball is thrown from a bridge 25 meter above the ground at 49m/s, is the acceleration negative? I thought since it was thrown up, it would be positive, but the book has a similar problem, a ball is thrown upward at a speed of 48ft/s from a cliff...
