Solution

The first image shows an integral with a substitution method, and the second image shows a similar integral. Let's go through the steps for solving this problem using the substitution method, and then solve the integral you've provided.

Problem from the first image:

You are asked to solve the integral:

261+exexdx\int_2^6 \frac{\sqrt{1+e^{-x}}}{e^x} \, dx

Steps to solve this:

  1. Substitution: Recognizing that the integral involves a composite function, we can let: u=1+exu = 1 + e^{-x} Then, differentiate both sides with respect to xx: du=exdxdu = -e^{-x} dx Which means du=exdx-du = e^{-x} dx.

  2. Rewriting the integral: Substitute u=1+exu = 1 + e^{-x} and du=exdx-du = e^{-x} dx into the original integral: 261+exexdx=1+e21+e6uduu\int_2^6 \frac{\sqrt{1+e^{-x}}}{e^x} \, dx = -\int_{1+e^{-2}}^{1+e^{-6}} \sqrt{u} \, \frac{du}{u}

  3. Simplify the integral: The integral simplifies to: 1+e21+e6u1/2du-\int_{1+e^{-2}}^{1+e^{-6}} u^{1/2} \, du

  4. Solve the integral: Now we can compute the integral: [23u3/2]1+e21+e6-\left[ \frac{2}{3} u^{3/2} \right]_{1+e^{-2}}^{1+e^{-6}}

  5. Evaluate the limits: Substitute the limits of integration: (23[(1+e6)3/2(1+e2)3/2])-\left( \frac{2}{3} \left[ (1 + e^{-6})^{3/2} - (1 + e^{-2})^{3/2} \right] \right)

    Numerically, this gives approximately 0.13740.1374.

Now for the second integral:

You are asked to evaluate the integral:

131+exexdx\int_1^3 \frac{\sqrt{1+e^{-x}}}{e^x} \, dx

This integral follows the same method, using the substitution u=1+exu = 1 + e^{-x}, and then performing the steps outlined above. Would you like me to go through the full detailed steps for this new integral as well, or would you like to proceed with any specific part of the solution?
