integration help please

OpenStudy (chrisplusian):

\[\int\limits 2x((4x^2)-10)^2\] can you explain to me how this becomes \[((4x^2-10)^3)/10\]

OpenStudy (chrisplusian):

sorry that is divided by twelve not ten

OpenStudy (experimentx):

suppose, \( 4x^2 - 10 = u\) , then you have, \( 8x dx= du \) Then the integration becomes \( \large \int \frac{u^2du}{4}\)

OpenStudy (chrisplusian):

I thought in substituting I would need to find du=f'(x) dx. I see that is 8xdx. since we start with 2x dx wouldn't it be then that 4*du =2xdx? not du/4?

OpenStudy (experimentx):

8xdx = du 2xdx = du/4
