    Integration
In summary: No worries, we can always correct ourselves. Here is the correct version:In summary, to integrate $\displaystyle \int \left(\frac{x}{y}\right) d\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)$ and $\displaystyle \int \frac{d(xy)}{(xy)^3}$, you can use the substitution method. For the first integral, let $u=\frac{x}{y}$, and for the second integral, let $u=xy$. This will simplify the integrals to $\displaystyle \int u \ d(u)$ and $\displaystyle \int \frac{d(u)}{u^3}$, respectively. Then, you can use the basic integration formula $\displaystyle \int u

how would you integrate

1. $\displaystyle \int \left(\frac{x}{y}\right) d\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)$

2. $\displaystyle \int \frac{d(xy)}{(xy)^3}$

if the two is just in this form I could easily answer it

$\displaystyle \int d\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)=(\frac{x}{y})$

$\displaystyle \int d(xy)=(xy)$

but I don't know how to treat $\frac{x}{y}$ in 1 and the $(xy)^3$ in 2.

please help!

Hello.

[tex]1) \ u=\dfrac{x}{y}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \int u \ d(u)=u= \dfrac{x}{y}[/tex]

[tex]2) \ u=(xy)[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \int \dfrac{d(u)}{u^3}=?[/tex]

Can you follow?

Regards.

What we want here is:

\(\displaystyle \int u\,du=\frac{1}{2}u^2+C\)

Right. I I'm wrong.

I wrote:

[tex]\int u\,du[/tex]

And I thought in:

[tex]\int \,du[/tex]

I'm sorry.

FAQ: Integrating $\frac{x}{y}$ & $(xy)^3$ - Get Help Now!

What is the meaning of "integrating" in this context?

Integrating refers to the process of finding the antiderivative of a given function. In this case, we are looking for the antiderivative of the function $\frac{x}{y}$ and $(xy)^3$.

Why are we integrating these two functions together?

Integrating these two functions together allows us to find the combined antiderivative, which can be useful in solving more complex problems or evaluating areas under a curve.

What are the steps for integrating these two functions?

The steps for integrating $\frac{x}{y}$ and $(xy)^3$ involve using the power rule, product rule, and chain rule of integration to find the antiderivative. Then, we can combine the two antiderivatives to get the final result.

What are the common mistakes when integrating these two functions?

Common mistakes when integrating $\frac{x}{y}$ and $(xy)^3$ include forgetting to apply the correct rules, making algebraic errors, and not being familiar with the properties of integration. It is important to double-check the steps and be careful with algebraic manipulations to avoid mistakes.

How can integrating these two functions be helpful in real-world applications?

Integrating $\frac{x}{y}$ and $(xy)^3$ can be helpful in solving problems related to physics, engineering, economics, and other fields. For example, we can use integration to calculate the work done by a varying force or to determine the optimal production level for a company.
