so im in the middle of a more comlex problem but im kinda stumped on this part... it says that the integral of:

e/(u+e)

is

eln|u+e|

i dont see how they did that? i keep ending up with ln|u+e| so im an e short...

\(\displaystyle \int \frac{e^1}{u+e^1} du = e^1\int \frac{1}{u+e^1} du= e^1* ln|(u+e^1)| + C\)
 
so... im still not quite sure i get it? im thinking you substitute some letter say v for u+e so v=u+e so you have 1/v to integrate... but then you have dv and isnt dv=e du or something? so shouldnt that eliminate the e in the numerator? and then you wouldnt have an e to pull out in front of the intergral...
