Math Problem Statement

Solution

The integral you've provided is:

e2x1exdx\int e^{2x} \sqrt{1 - e^{x}} \, dx

To solve this integral, we can use substitution. Let's proceed with the following steps:

Step 1: Substitution

Let u=1exu = 1 - e^{x}. Then, the derivative of uu with respect to xx is:

dudx=ex\frac{du}{dx} = -e^{x}

This implies:

du=exdxordu=exdxdu = -e^{x} \, dx \quad \text{or} \quad -du = e^{x} \, dx

Step 2: Rewrite the Integral

Now, substitute u=1exu = 1 - e^{x} and exdx=due^{x} \, dx = -du into the integral:

e2x1exdx=exexudx\int e^{2x} \sqrt{1 - e^{x}} \, dx = \int e^{x} \cdot e^{x} \sqrt{u} \, dx

Substitute exdx=due^{x} \, dx = -du:

=exudu= -\int e^{x} \cdot \sqrt{u} \, du

Since ex=1ue^{x} = 1 - u:

=(1u)udu= -\int (1 - u) \sqrt{u} \, du

Step 3: Expand and Integrate

Now, distribute and integrate:

=udu+uudu= -\int \sqrt{u} \, du + \int u \sqrt{u} \, du

These integrals are straightforward:

  1. For udu\int \sqrt{u} \, du, recall that u=u1/2\sqrt{u} = u^{1/2}:

u1/2du=23u3/2\int u^{1/2} \, du = \frac{2}{3} u^{3/2}

  1. For uudu\int u \sqrt{u} \, du, note that uu=u3/2u \sqrt{u} = u^{3/2}:

u3/2du=25u5/2\int u^{3/2} \, du = \frac{2}{5} u^{5/2}

Step 4: Combine and Back-Substitute

Combining these, we get:

[23u3/225u5/2]+C-\left[\frac{2}{3} u^{3/2} - \frac{2}{5} u^{5/2}\right] + C

Substituting back u=1exu = 1 - e^{x}:

[23(1ex)3/225(1ex)5/2]+C-\left[\frac{2}{3} (1 - e^{x})^{3/2} - \frac{2}{5} (1 - e^{x})^{5/2}\right] + C

This is the final answer for the integral.
