Um...Calculus?
twocowboywaltz:
Anyone well-versed on this topic enough to provide a student with some help?
This is going to sound so random, but I'm doing some problems from my textbook at the moment. The section is indefinite integrals right now and antidifferentiation via substitution:
(let's see if I can do this here without totally screwing up any chances of conveying the problem!)
33. Take the indefinite integral of (...lol I don't know how to do that little squiggly line on the keyboard for integration):
[(ln^6 x) / x] dx
Edit: Found a thing on the Web for equations!
I have no idea what that superscript "6" is doing there. I am -assuming- it's a typo and the book really means (ln x)^6 (because then I'd actually know how to do it), but that's only because I've never encountered this "superscript after a logarithm" before, and the book doesn't even explain this. I'm probably wrong on both counts, hehe.
Thanks to anyone taking the time to read this! I've been Googling this topic for a while now and come up with nothing.
Kinda weird to be posting this on a Brokeback forum (lol), but I'll take any help I can get!

Good for you for asking for help, and good luck. Pretty much everything in school was easy for me til I hit calculus. I dropped the class because I was going to fail it. So again, good luck!

If Wayne was on HE could help...he is very very smart!

Hi twocowboy waltz,
You are correct, the superscript is an alternate notation for an exponent. If it was a subscript, it would indicate a base.
ln^6(x) = [ln(x)]^6
Putting it on the function makes it confusing, but it is acceptable.
