Can i please get help on this integral, i will write it out
\[\int\limits_{}^{} x^4\sqrt[3]{2x^5+6}\] I get to this point: \[1/10 \int\limits_{}^{} \sqrt[3]{u} \]
what do i do next?
looks good so far now rewrite using rational exponent then integrate using power rule \[1/10\int\limits_{}^{}\sqrt[3]{u} =1/10\int\limits_{}^{}u^{1/3}\]
okay, that would then be: (1/10)(3/4)(u^4/3)
right?
yes good now replace u with expression of x
then it would become: (3(2x^5+6)^4/3)/40 ?
yep
and thats it?
yeah well add the constant "+C" i guess
why does my book say: it should be before replacing: (3u(u)^1/3)/(40)
oh because u^4/3 = u*u^1/3
just a different way of writing it
why would they write it like that? as u*u^1/3
textbooks dont like improper fraction exponents
that could really confuse a student
tell me about it...past memories :)
thanks for your help dumbcow, i really appreciate it
and your right lagrangeson, that is confusing :)
your teacher prob won't care, so it just annoying when you check your answers
thanks again
that's an ugly looking integral but easily solved
