@tropic pendant you didnt calculate the derivative of 1/(2x) properly

[tropic pendant]

Thanks

[tropic pendant]

Wait don’t see how it’s wrong

[green kindle]

where does the 4 in the denominator come from

[tropic pendant]

I forgot to chain rule

[green kindle]

thats one way to do it, yea

[tropic pendant]

Should be -1/2x^2 right

[green kindle]

yea

an easier way is

derivative of 1/x is -1/x^2

so derivative of half of that is -1/(2x^2)

[tropic pendant]

Thanks I didn’t think of it like that

[green kindle]

the integral from there is easy and your method will work

.solved
you should get ||31/48||
lmk if you get stuck again

Solved

Post marked as solved by @green kindle.

Use .unsolved if this was a mistake.

[tropic pendant]

Any idea what I’m doing wrong @green kindle

[green kindle]

here, you forgot a ^2 on the 2x^2 in the bottom half

[tropic pendant]

thanks, the tediousness of these problems makes it that i always some how make a silly mistake on this

[green kindle]

I can see you skipped a step moving that 1 + into the ()

Id do the same honestly

but make sure you show more steps to make sure that it does work out

[tropic pendant]

i did the work but it was in another part of the page i forgot to post

[green kindle]

alr Ill assume you did show the steps then on that other page

[tropic pendant]

yes

Got 55/48

[green kindle]

not how these cancel

you shouldve gotten $x^2+\frac1{x^2}$ instead
