?

\[\color{blue}{\huge\int_0^1\sqrt[3]{1-x^7}-\sqrt[7]{1-x^3}dx}\]

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[\color{blue}{\int_0^1\sqrt[3]{1-x^7}dx-\int\sqrt[7]{1-x^3}dx}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but when i do that it still seems ugly

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

do one half at a time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i shud make a u sub \[u=1-x^7\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in the 1st one

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

i'd say so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[u=1-x^7\] \[\int\frac{u^{1/3}}{7x^6}du\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the x^6 is a problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\frac{u^{1/3}}{7(1-u)^{1/7}}\]

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

hmm,

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

maybe that method isn't going to work

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

where did you get this question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

steward calculus advanved problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

what if we use the property integral ( f(x) from x=a to b = f(a+b-x) from x= a to b )?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in this case a+b=0+1 int f(1-x)=f(x)

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

yep, am not too sure if that'll work though, but probably should work ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i have to go i;ll try it thanks to everyone for the effort

OpenStudy (anonymous):

According to WA, the definite integral is 0: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=integrate+%28%281-x%5E7%29%5E%281%2F3%29+-+%281-x%5E3%29%5E%281%2F7%29%29+over+%5B0%2C1%5D Maybe there's some detail we're not getting about the function itself.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

interesting result maybe this property is because of the function is actually an inverse of itself i mean \[f(x)=\sqrt[3]{1-x^7}\] then \[f^{-1}(x)=\sqrt[7]{1-x^3}\] should this mean anything

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int_0^1 f(x)-f^{-1}(x) \space dx\] \[f(1)=f^{-1}(1)=0\]

OpenStudy (experimentx):

this is a famous question on M.SE
