Math Problem Statement

∫(1+3x3)ex3dx

Solution

To evaluate the integral:

(1+3x3)ex3dx\int (1 + 3x^3) e^{x^3} \, dx

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Recognize a substitution pattern:
    The derivative of x3x^3 is 3x23x^2, and the integrand contains terms that suggest substitution with u=x3u = x^3.

  2. Substitute: Let: u=x3    du=3x2dxu = x^3 \implies du = 3x^2 dx This simplifies dxdx as: dx=du3x2dx = \frac{du}{3x^2}

  3. Rewrite the integral:
    Substitute uu and adjust the terms: (1+3x3)ex3dx=(1+3u)eudu3x2\int (1 + 3x^3) e^{x^3} dx = \int \left(1 + 3u\right) e^u \frac{du}{3x^2} However, x2x^2 remains in the denominator. From u=x3u = x^3, we know x2=u2/3x^2 = u^{2/3}. Substituting this: dx=du3u2/3dx = \frac{du}{3u^{2/3}} So the integral becomes: (1+3u)eu13u2/3du=13(1+3u)euu2/3du\int (1 + 3u)e^u \frac{1}{3u^{2/3}} du = \frac{1}{3} \int \frac{(1 + 3u)e^u}{u^{2/3}} du

  4. Simplify further and evaluate:
    The resulting integral is a combination of exponential and fractional powers, which may need a series expansion for further resolution or numeric methods if closed forms aren't possible. Let me know if you'd like a deeper step into series or numeric computation!

Would you like me to refine this for approximation, or proceed with series expansion?


Follow-Up Questions:

  1. Do you want to explore methods for solving integrals with fractional exponents?
  2. Should I demonstrate a numeric approximation for this integral?
  3. Would you like to explore how substitution simplifies complex exponential integrals?
  4. Are you curious about series expansion for functions with eue^u?
  5. Should we generalize this problem for powers other than x3x^3?

Tip:

For integrals involving products of polynomials and exponentials, substitution is often the first step, but not always sufficient for a closed-form solution.
