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.

A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

Image
0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{...

Calculate evaluation metrics using cross_val_predict sklearn

Image
1 In the sklearn.model_selection.cross_val_predict page it is stated: Generate cross-validated estimates for each input data point. It is not appropriate to pass these predictions into an evaluation metric. Can someone explain what does it mean? If this gives estimate of Y (y prediction) for every Y (true Y), why can't I calculate metrics such as RMSE or coefficient of determination using these results? python scikit-learn cross-validation share | improve this question edited Nov 28 '18 at 17:52 desertnaut 20.3k 7 43 79 ...
