    FOR PEOPLE ASKING WHERE THE DU WENT:
    Derivatives and integrals are inverse functions, so they cancel each other out. When you INTEGRATE a DERIVATIVE (which is du) it cancels du out.

      @quickscoping91 Před 8 lety +9

      +Jem Celespara Think of 'du' as 'dx' ok? When we have a standard integral with respect to x, dx will be at the end to say 'with respect to x'. When we solve the integral the dx doesn't matter because that's all it was saying. In U-substitution when we are dealing with u instead of x we write 'du' to say 'with respect to u.

    At about 3:15, why are we able to "move" e^(x^3 + x^2) "behind" the dx. Doesn't that change our integral?

    • @camdenfitzgerald2557
      @camdenfitzgerald2557 Před 7 lety +1

      it would change it, but he does this to show how you would substitute for beginners. If it helps any, what we are essentially doing here is replacing dx with du so because the dx is operating on the first function it becomes e^u du. where du = f'(x) dx. So he moved it to show that it wont effect e^f(x) except for when we substitute u.

  • @alexreidberlin2638
    @alexreidberlin2638 Před 10 lety

    When you have e^u * du and you take the anti derivative, what happened to the du? I guess I'm not understanding why it can disappear instead of becoming "u" when you take the antiderivative.

    • @HD_Simplicityy
      @HD_Simplicityy Před 10 lety +1

      The integral and the du both cancel. thus you see the end result as it is. Its just like when you see a square root of a number, like Square root of 3, to a power. The power cancels out the square root and you are left with a single value.

    • @dylanloeb3409
      @dylanloeb3409 Před 9 lety +6

      I assume you mean at 4:30 - du just means when taking the integral it's in respect to "u" - so when you take the integral of e^u (which is still e^u) the du goes away because you took the integral of it and that's the answer. Finally you just put a +C at the end to account for your constant.

    • @jemcel0397

      @bofa-zi4fj Před 6 lety

      BCrafty121 thats the "power rule" which only works if the base of the exponent is a variable. E is not a variable but a number, the derivative of e^x is ln(e)e^x= e^x because the ln(e)=1

    At 1:58 saying that really isn't du divided by dx.... could someone just explain that to me? I mean I kind of know its a notation trick. But calculating the derivative of a function actually means dividing a tiny change in u by a tiny change in x. I know I mess up something really badly, but please, could someone explain that to me?

    • @isavenewspapers8890
      @isavenewspapers8890 Před 2 měsíci +1

      It isn't actually any particular ratio between a tiny change in u and a tiny change in x. It's what that ratio approaches as the tiny change in x approaches 0.

    • @isavenewspapers8890
      @isavenewspapers8890 Před 2 měsíci

      If the derivative is a constant, multiply the inside of the integral by that constant, and divide by that same constant on the outside. This will keep the value of the integral the same, and now you can do the substitution.
      Otherwise, tough luck. Look for another method of integration.

    I don't understand, I initially tried it the conventional way and got (x^3+x^2)e^(x^3+x^2)+C by treating e as a constant. I don't fully understand how e works, I would imagine that int of e^u du=e^u * u + C. Sorry, if this question sounds a bit stupid, but most of my calculus is self taught and I am in geometry.

      Nop. e^x is basically defined in a way such that its derivative (I prefer differentiation) is e^x. Remember when you try to find the differentiation (or derivative) for e^x and you got some limit that cannot be evaluate, so that's where we defined that limit as = 1.

      not trying to offend you but a teacher has the right to teach however they want to teach. A good teacher teaches how they presume the most students will understand and the fact that most teachers choose this method speaks volumes. You come across as someone trying to be pompous.

    • @tincho15neem
      @tincho15neem Před 7 lety +1

      The problem is that this way is wrong. It works, yes, but isn't the right way to do it and it confuses students. dx and dy are not numbers. To do this in this way you need to study a lot of other things before.

    • @BetYouHateMeNow
      @BetYouHateMeNow Před 7 lety +1

      Anacleta Ludovica I agree and I am aware of why the dx "dissapears". But some people can learn it later as it isn't important to know at the stage when most people learn it at.

    • @tincho15neem
      @tincho15neem Před 7 lety

      You can teach this at that stage, without multiplying anything. This is the way I prefer:
      Let f'(x)=e^x and g(x)=x^3+x^2
      Then f(x)=e^x and g'(x)=3x^2+2x
      So by the chain rule:
      Integral [f'(g(x)) * g'(x)] = f(g(x)) +c = e^(x^3+x^2) + c

    • @BetYouHateMeNow
      @BetYouHateMeNow Před 7 lety
