Can i please get help on this integral, i will write it out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{}^{} x^4\sqrt[3]{2x^5+6}\] I get to this point: \[1/10 \int\limits_{}^{} \sqrt[3]{u} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do i do next?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

looks good so far now rewrite using rational exponent then integrate using power rule \[1/10\int\limits_{}^{}\sqrt[3]{u} =1/10\int\limits_{}^{}u^{1/3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, that would then be: (1/10)(3/4)(u^4/3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

yes good now replace u with expression of x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then it would become: (3(2x^5+6)^4/3)/40 ?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and thats it?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

yeah well add the constant "+C" i guess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why does my book say: it should be before replacing: (3u(u)^1/3)/(40)

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

oh because u^4/3 = u*u^1/3

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

just a different way of writing it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why would they write it like that? as u*u^1/3

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

textbooks dont like improper fraction exponents

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that could really confuse a student

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

tell me about it...past memories :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks for your help dumbcow, i really appreciate it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and your right lagrangeson, that is confusing :)

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

your teacher prob won't care, so it just annoying when you check your answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's an ugly looking integral but easily solved
