    Or perhaps simply that Patrick is cool.

      because you are lazy and think everything will just magically look solvable xD So you give up as soon as something starts looking more complicated than it was.
      First thing, you see people like patrick solve what they have either already solved or they have a lot of experience in solving and of course that it is gonna look like it's supposed to be easy. Secondly, most important thing is to know the basics. Yes, you can overcomplicate a problem to an extent at which you should start over or look up the answer, BUT, be sure that you have at least gotten to that point by using correct "mathematics" (aka didn't miss a minus, didn't do something that you can't with square roots etc.
      Basically don't integrate some function, before you know what that function is, how it behaves, how its plot looks, what can you do with it with some algebra . And do keep going, even when it looks like next step will require too much effort to do. You slowly train that way

    simply divide num and denom by e^x then we get e^-x+1 divide by e^-x -1 then add to num +1-1 and split integral we get integral e^-x /e^-x -1 + integral e^x /1-e^x.solving by substituting for both integrals by t=e^-x -1 andt=1-e^x in the end we get -log(e^-x -1)-log(1-e^x)

    I split the numerator up into 1-ex+2ex so that I could split the fraction up into int[ 2ex/(1-ex) + (1-ex)/(1-ex) ]dx
    Then you get left with
    Int[2ex/(1-ex) + 1]dx
    Int[2ex/(1-ex)]dx + x
    Let u=1-ex
    Let du=-exdx
    -Int[2/u]du + x
    2ln|u| + x
    2ln[1-ex] + x + c
    Little bit more intuitive to me imo!

  • @marcusrayrosales1
    @marcusrayrosales1 7 лет назад

    This is way easier than shown here!
    First, multiply top and bottom by e^{-x/2}, so that:
    (1+e^x)/(1-e^x)
    becomes:
    -(e^{x/2}+e^{-x/2})/(e^{x/2}-e^{-x/2})
    ==-cosh (x/2)/sinh (x/2)
    The integral is easily seen to be:
    -2ln [sinh (x/2)]■
    knowledge of hyperbolic sines and cosines are not necessary here; just do the first step of multiplying by e^{-x/2}, then let u be the denominator. All so much easier than this video shows.

    @edgaracosta9976 9 лет назад +1

    I'd just like to comment that there is a way to at least know how to approach one type of integration problem. If you are multiplying or dividing two functions of a different type, the only approach is integration by parts. For example, finding the integral of (x^2 + 2)(sinx) dx. This type of problem would be impossible to do through substitution because in the most general cases, you need the functions to be of the same type, that way you have a chance of figuring out which one is the derivative of which.

    The easiest way to do this is using hyperbolic identies.
    1 + e^x = e^(x/2) [ e^(x/2) + e^-(x/2) ]
    1 - e^x = e^(x/2) [ e^-(x/2) - e^(x/2) ]
    So it is basically -1/tanh(x), and integrating that is child's play.

      When we have 1/x and take the antiderivative we have to take into account the domain of the antiderivative.
      Derivative Ln(x) - 1/x The ln(x) domain is x>0 The values of 1/x respect the domain
      Antiderivative 1/x - Ln(x) The domain of 1/x is all numbers except 0, ln(x) can't take negative numbers so we have to find a way to extend its domain. |x| solves that problem.
      If you were wondering,
      d/dx ln|x| = 1/x

    what if we substitute 1+êx = u. Then we get it rather easily

    Lol you could have just divided the numerator and denominator by e^x. Then it becomes an easy log integration. 3 lines maximum lmao

      they are o level math how you can hope to watch this without learning those cuz integration is a level one
