# Math Help - integration, rough stuff

1. ## integration, rough stuff

integral of (x^2)/root(4-x)dx

integral of e^(4x)/(e^2x-4)^2

Thanks in advance. ^_^

2. $\int\frac{e^{4x}}{(e^{2x}-4)^{2}}dx$

You could let $u=e^{2x}, \;\ du=2e^{2x}dx, \;\ \frac{du}{2}=e^{2x}dx$

Make the subs and get:

$\frac{1}{2}\int\frac{u}{(u-4)^{2}}du=\frac{1}{2}\left[\int\frac{1}{u-4}du+\int\frac{4}{(u-4)^{2}}du\right]$

These are relatively easy integrals to work with now.

You can also rearrange it in other ways by using substitutions.

should it be sqrt(4 - x^2)?

integral of e^(4x)/(e^2x-4)^2
a simple substitution can handle this. try u = e^(2x) - 4

EDIT: Oh, galactus beat me to this one. he used a slightly harder substitution to work with though, i think

Let $u = 4 - x \implies du = -dx$

$\int \frac{x^2}{\sqrt{4 - x}}~dx = \int \frac{(4 - u)^2}{\sqrt{u}}~-du$

$= -\int\frac{4 - 4u + u^2}{u^{1/2}}~du$

$= -\int 4~u^{-1/2}~du + \int 4u^{1/2}~du - \int u^{3/2}~du$

which you should be able to do easily.
