integral of 5e^x-cos(x)+3x^2-1/x
1) Let's compute the integral:
For the math expression: , since (sin(a))' = a'*cos(a) , we try differentiating
2) Let's perform the differentiation:
ⓘ The derivative of sin(x) is cos(x): =
You observe that the computed derivative and the original math expression are the same, except for a coefficient. So the integral is:
ⅰ =
For the math expression: , since (exp(a))' = a'*exp(a) , we try differentiating
3) Let's perform the differentiation:
ⓘ The derivative of exp(x) is exp(x): =
The computed derivative matches the original math expression up to a constant factor. Therefore, the integral is:
ⅰ =
ⅰ =
ⓘ A constant factor stays in front of the integral. An antiderivative of x^n is x^(n+1)/(n+1), for n ≠ -1: = ■The derivative of is , so is an antiderivative of : =
ⓘ Multiplying a fraction by a number multiplies its numerator: = ■A fraction is simplified by dividing the numerator and the denominator by the same number: =
▶Indefinite integrals are defined up to an additive constant C , so this yields:
