Int x^4(x5 - 8)^4 dx [0,5]
lost on this one, could use some pointers

use (x5 - 8)=z and then u will get the result
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then find dz which is the dirivitive right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
dz=5x^4?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yup dz=5x^4dx
OpenStudy (anonymous):
even change the limit if u want otherwise u can simplify the integration then bring it back in terms ox and then substitute

ok I think im missing something...\[\int\limits_{?}^{?}x ^{4}(u ^{4})dx\]
then
\[1/5 x ^{5}(u ^{4})\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
do I u sub again for the u^4?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it is 1/5integral of (u^4) du =(u^5)/25
now bring the answer iback in x and the nsubstitute for x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[1/5 x^51/5u^5=1/25 x^5u^5?\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry, I'm having a hard time with this one

why u r writing x^5 always it seems u hv not cancelled it with x^4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so it is just 1/25 (u^5)?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Sorry, lost again
OpenStudy (anonymous):
can you write it down properly with the integrals?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
using formula?.. : /

\[\int\limits_{?}^{?}x^4(x^5-8)^4\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Evaluate the integral
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Tried to u sub for (), but keep getting lost
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I think I got it...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[(x^5-8)^4/25\]

\[(x^5−8)^5/25\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i havent seen those for a few years but you can always find the (a-b)^4 and just simplify it until the end...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
just a lot of work... is it supposed to be easy exercise ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
not really. Usually are a bit challenging
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I have another that I just need a sanity check on...

then just solve ιt with the time consuming way
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you will need this:
(a-b)^4 = a^4 - 4a^3b+6a^2b^2-4ab^3+b^4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
..and just do the calculations
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\int\limits_{?}^{?}1/(16-x^2)^2 dx =(16-x^2)^{-1}+c\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
u=16-x^2
du=-xdx

\[-\int\limits_{}^{}u^{-2}du\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
about the second i think you re right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Hope so. Thanks
