Complex Integrals (for me at least)

Hey!

How do I integrate ∫tln√(t+1) and ∫4te^(2-0,3t)?
Thanks in advance.

On that first integral, you might try using \(\displaystyle \log x^a = a\log x\), and re-write it in the equivalent form\(\displaystyle \int t\log\sqrt{1+t}\, dt = \frac{1}{2}\, \int t\log(1+t)\, dt\)

Next, try the substitution \(\displaystyle y=1+t?\)NOTE: I always use "log" instead of "ln", so where you wrote "ln" I've written "log".

For the second integral, I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Is it

\(\displaystyle 4\, \int e^{2-0.3 t} \, dt = ?\)

If so, then it might be worth separating the exponential term into two parts; one that contains the variable "t", and must - therefore - be kept inside the integral sign, while the other is a constant \(\displaystyle (e^{x+y}=e^xe^y)\):

\(\displaystyle \int e^{2-0.3 t}\, dt = e^2\, \int e^{-0.3 t}\, dt\)

Hello, filiphenrique!

Integrate these "by parts".
I'll do the first one.

$$I \;=\;\int t \ln\sqrt{t+1}\,dt$$

$$\begin{Bmatrix}u &=& \tfrac{1}{2}\ln(t+1) && dv &=& t\,dt \\ du &=& \tfrac{dt}{2(t+1)} && v &=& \tfrac{1}{2}t^2\end{Bmatrix}$$

$$I \;=\;\tfrac{1}{4}t^2\ln(t+1) - \tfrac{1}{4}\int \frac{t^2}{t+1}\,dt$$

$$I \;=\;\tfrac{1}{4}t^2\ln(t+1) - \tfrac{1}{4}\int\left(t - 1 + \frac{1}{t+1}\right)\,dt$$
$$I \;=\;\tfrac{1}{4}t^2\ln(t+1) - \tfrac{1}{4}\left[\tfrac{1}{2}t^2 - t + \ln(t+1)\right] + C$$

$$I \;=\;\tfrac{1}{4}t^2\ln(t+1) - \tfrac{1}{8}t^2 + \tfrac{1}{4}t - \tfrac{1}{4}\ln(t+1) + C$$

Hey, thanks for the reply. I got what you meant in the first integral I posted. But in the second integral, We really have the t variable before the e^(2-0,3t). Based on the way you start solving the integral, can I put the 4 and the e^2 off and integrate te^0,3t by parts? Thanks!

By the way, how do I write integrals the way you guys do here?

Hiya! :D

Yes, you certainly can integrate that last one by parts, starting with \(\displaystyle (d/dt)e^{at} = ?\)

To show integrals the way I posted above, write

View attachment 2579

to display as

\(\displaystyle \int f(x)\, dx = g(x) \)
And as for the integral itself, if \(\displaystyle a\) and \(\displaystyle b\) are constants, then

\(\displaystyle \int e^{a+bx}\,dx = \int (e^a\, e^{bx})\, dx = e^a\int e^{bx}\, dx\)

Can you solve it from there? :D
