Math Problem Statement

Solve the following integrals: u1(t) = ∫(2 / (e^(3t) * (2 + e^t))) dt and u2(t) = ∫(-2 / (2 + e^t)) dt.

Solution

The image contains two integrals involving functions u1(t)u_1(t) and u2(t)u_2(t), both with respect to tt. The integrals are as follows:

u1(t)=2e3t(2+et)dtu_1(t) = \int \frac{2}{e^{3t}(2 + e^t)} \, dt u2(t)=22+etdtu_2(t) = \int \frac{-2}{2 + e^t} \, dt

Let's solve each integral step by step.

1. For u1(t)u_1(t):

u1(t)=2e3t(2+et)dtu_1(t) = \int \frac{2}{e^{3t}(2 + e^t)} \, dt

First, factor the exponential function:

u1(t)=2e3t(2+et)dt=2e2t(2et+1)dtu_1(t) = \int \frac{2}{e^{3t}(2 + e^t)} \, dt = \int \frac{2}{e^{2t}(2e^{-t} + 1)} \, dt

Let x=etx = e^t, which implies dx=etdtdx = e^t dt and dt=dxxdt = \frac{dx}{x}. Rewriting the integral in terms of xx:

u1(t)=2e2t(2+x)dtu_1(t) = \int \frac{2}{e^{2t}(2 + x)} \, dt

I will complete the substitution process for this integral.The solution to the first integral, u1(t)u_1(t), is:

u1(t)=3(t+log(et+2))e3t6e2t+6et824e3tu_1(t) = \frac{3(-t + \log(e^t + 2))e^{3t} - 6e^{2t} + 6e^t - 8}{24e^{3t}}

This can be further simplified if necessary, but the current form is correct.

2. For u2(t)u_2(t):

u2(t)=22+etdtu_2(t) = \int \frac{-2}{2 + e^t} \, dt

For this integral, let x=etx = e^t, so dx=etdtdx = e^t dt and dt=dxxdt = \frac{dx}{x}. The integral becomes:

u2(t)=22+xdxxu_2(t) = \int \frac{-2}{2 + x} \cdot \frac{dx}{x}

I will now solve this integral.The solution to the second integral, u2(t)u_2(t), is:

u2(t)=t+log(et+2)u_2(t) = -t + \log(e^t + 2)

Summary of the results:

  1. u1(t)=3(t+log(et+2))e3t6e2t+6et824e3tu_1(t) = \frac{3(-t + \log(e^t + 2))e^{3t} - 6e^{2t} + 6e^t - 8}{24e^{3t}}
  2. u2(t)=t+log(et+2)u_2(t) = -t + \log(e^t + 2)
