Stuck with Integration by Substitution












2












$begingroup$


I have a question where we need to find an integral using where "$u = 1+e^{x}$" for the equation "$int frac{e^{3x}}{1+e^{x}}dx$".



However when I substitute it I end up with "$int frac{(u-1)^{3}}{u}du$" instead of "$int frac{(u-1)^{2}}{u}du$" which is what I should be getting. Please help

    You are correct, if $u=1+e^x$, then $e^x=u-1$ and $e^{3x}=(u-1)^3$. Is it possible whatever solutions you are looking at are incorrect?

    Have checked on two websites and both somehow have $e^{3x}=(u−1)^{2}$ and they get the same answer as the one on in the answers section.

$begingroup$

$$u=1+e^x to du= e^x dx to dx =frac{du}{u-1}$$
Also $e^{3x}=(u-1)^3$



Put it together and we have:



$$int frac{e^{3x}}{1+e^x} dx = int frac{(u-1)^3}{u}cdot frac{du}{u-1} =int frac{(u-1)^2}{u} du $$ as required



Your mistake was that you didnt substitute in $du$ in for $dx$ when you applied the u-sub.
