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.

Accessing regular linux commands in Huawei's Dopra Linux

4 Backstory: I have a Huawei HG8245 router in my house and I want to change the default username/password. I've tried following this guide but the config file always gets reset. My ISP isn't helping either so I'm looking for other ways to accomplish this. The router has telnet access so this seems like a way to change the credentials. The first shell I gain access to looks like this: WAP> Pressing "?" gives me a list of available commands which I've pasted here, the two interesting ones are "su" and "shell". I can't seem to get su access, even after logging in as root (challenge password prompt, and then nothing happens), but shell gives me a proper linux shell.
