Does this work out right?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

----------------------> RIGHT.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\int\ x^2(x^3+5)^9\ dx=\left[\sum_{n=1}^{10}\left(\begin{array}c9\\n-1\end{array}\right)5^{(n-1)}x^{(32-3n)}\right]+C\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\int\ x^2(x^3+5)^9\ dx =\frac{(x^3+5)^{10}}{30}+C\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can understand Integration only.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i forgot to include my denominators in the original

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

haha^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did not get the Sigma notation part o.O

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\int\ x^2(x^3+5)^9\ dx=\left[\sum_{n=1}^{10}\frac{\left(\begin{array}c9\\n-1\end{array}\right)}{33-3n}5^{(n-1)}x^{(33-3n)}\right]+C\]

OpenStudy (zarkon):

\[\int x^2(x^3+5)^9\ dx=\int x^2\sum_{n=0}^{9}{9\choose n}(x^3)^n(5)^{9-n}dx\] \[=\int\sum_{n=0}^{9}{9\choose n}(x^{3n+2})(5)^{9-n}dx\] \[=\sum_{n=0}^{9}{9\choose n}\left(\frac{x^{3n+3}}{3n+3}\right)(5)^{9-n}+c\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

in..terne....t, so sl.....ow

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why are you shifting the index?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

just the way it looked when i did it on the paper :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

my math teacher wants us to do these boring indefinites so i want to give her something to wonder about lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you mean this was the original problem \[\int\ x^2(x^3+5)^9\ dx =\frac{(x^3+5)^{10}}{30}+C\]??

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you must have a lot of time on your hands....

OpenStudy (amistre64):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not that it makes any difference but i think it is easier to start with \[(a+b)^n=\sum_{k=0}^n\dbinom{n}{k}a^{n-k}b^k\] rather than using n - 1 and and starting at 1
