how do you integrate 7^(2x+1) ?

$\bg_white \frac{1}{2\ln 7}* 7^{2x+1}+C$

[HR][/HR]

$\bg_white Let us consider, when differentiating some function, say -$

$\bg_white y=2^{2x+1}$

$\bg_white The result stems from,\; \frac{d}{dx}a^{bx+c} = (\ln a)*a^{bx+c}*b$

$\bg_white y'=\ln 2* 2^{2x+1}*2$

$\bg_white y'=2(\ln 2) 2^{2x+1}$

$\bg_white If we were to integrate that, we would sort of need to *knock out* the excess constants of (2ln2) to get back to our original function.$

$\bg_white The reverse process can be applied here, however when we reverse the result, we must do.$

$\bg_white \int a^{bx+c} \;dx=\frac{1}{b\ln a}*a^{bx+c}+C$

$\bg_white Hence we can apply it for this case.$

replace 7 with e^ln(7).

integrate

Correct, but maybe you should explain from where you acquired this answer, rather than just throwing it at nfreidman.

well u can use- (integral) a^x dx= a^x/lna +c but since there is a function in the power u can use substitution u=2x+1 and then go forward!

y= [e^ln(7)]^ (2x+1)

= e^[ (2x+1) ln(7) ]

Integrating

1/[2ln(7)] e^(2x+1)ln(7) ]

= 1/[2ln(7)] * y

= 1/ [2ln(7) ] 7^(2x+1)+C

I am sure he does.

My point was that OP would have learnt better from an explanation, rather than just the final answer. The matter is not whether Spiralflex 'knows his shit' or not, but whether he could have explained it, which again I am confident he can.

You know me. Never leave stuff unexplained. I have a habit of typing the answer first then editing it.

spiral always provides solutions, I should have said.

One thing he has left unexplained is his GF(real or imaginary)

replace 7 with e^ln(7).

integrate
+1

Best and simplest way to think about it.
