Sorry everyone! At 2:21 I overlooked parts as a possible solution method. You can solve with parts using the recursive method.

@@mardinjordan8642 Don't worry about it too much this is an extreme example
you can do it by parts, it gives that the initial integral is x(3^lnx) -(ln3)(the integral) you just add it to the other side and then divide by 1+ln3
adw1z's simplification is best, but requires some down-field vision. the usub in the video is the best obvious approach, but e^u*3^u you want to convert the 3 to e^(log3), and then you can combine. technically you get another u-type substitution, but a linear one so you can just "reverse chain rule" it
Learning maths from you from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 Great work!
beautiful question

Thanks
the better method is that x^ln3 = 3^lnx. So its mere instant, obviously its not allowed in the q but yeah.

u can still cheese it by doing the u = ln(x) sub, x^(ln3) dx = e^(u(1 + ln(3))) du, its just as easy and saves lots of time
A very quick trick is to notice: 3^ln(x) = exp(ln3)^ln(x) = exp(ln(x))^ln(3) = x^(ln3), which integrates to: (ln(3) + 1)^-1 x^(ln(3) + 1) + C = x* 3^ln(x) / (ln(3) + 1) + C Edit: I just read now, u need a ln(x) sub, which is very annoying. But it makes life much easier using the above method still: u = lnx so e^u = x, e^u du = dx, and then integrate e^(uln(3))e^u du = e^(u(1+ln3)) du, which becomes: 1/(1+ln3) e^(u(1+ln3)) + C = x* 3^ln(x) / (ln(3) + 1) + C Avoids any sort of parts or partial differentiation for 7 marks :)

@@spencergee6948 I wouldn't risk it, so I'd try and use a u = ln(x) sub wherever possible. Even in the shortcut method u can use it, which saves a lot of time and then u are guaranteed all the marks
where do you find these questions? I saw some people mention madasmaths but I can't find these questions. Can you please send me the link?
i got up to (3e)^u and got ln(3e) * (3e)^u. from there i ended up with 3^(ln(x)) * x(1 + ln(3)) + c, but the 1+ln(3) is meant to be the denominator so i just divided everything by (1 + ln(3))^2 and got (3^(ln(x)))/(1 + ln(3)) + c/((1 + ln(3))^2) and since c/((1+ln(3))^2) is just a constant i just renamed it and turned it into + C on its own. that got me the thing u had to show. would that work or is that the wrong method?
recursive method is perfect for this
Sir at 4:42 why did you consider to differentiate 1/lna. Where did this came from?
@fried_noodless
Ай бұрын
I think it's because integration and differentiation are inverse functions, and when you integrate a function you multiply by 1 over the function. Not entirely sure though.

Isn’t 3^lnx, equal to (e^ln3)^lnx, = (e^lnx)^ln3 = x^ln3 So does it not just integrate to (x^(ln3 + 1))/(ln3 + 1)

@afernz4999

After differentiating, try sub in x*du = dx, you will get get 3^u * x du which has the integral in terms of u and x, so you would need to get x in terms of u, which would be e^u. Sir here has just instantly put it to e^u before x as usually these types of problems require you to do that, but not all of course.
Use reduction formula

You can’t do this by parts, I tried it and it puts you into an infinite loop- to show what I mean, Try using parts on ∫3^u e^u du , you should find that within the very first part, the repeated integral step in the formula is the exact same; hence, an infinite loop

For parts this is how I did it: So if you sub u = lnx you get the integral of 3^u e^u as shown in the video Now parts: z = 3^u so dz/du = ln(3)*3^u (ofc u normally say u = something then du/dx = something but in this case we have already used the letter u so that would make things confusing) dv/du = e^u so v = e^u integral of e^u*3^u = e^u*3^u - integral of ln(3)*3^u*e^u (Using by parts) Now notice that when u do it by parts you have the same integral again. So u can say I = integral of e^u*3^u So: I = e^u*3^u -ln(3)*I Hence I = e^u*3^u/(ln3+1) Then sub back in u = lnx, then u get the thing they want, let me know if i explained something badly

because you don't want any "x" terms in your integral when you're using u-substitution- you just want it in terms of "u" so you have to convert all "x" terms to "u" terms
