Evaluate the integral (3x^5 − x^−5 + 1) dx So far I have 3*x^6/6-x^-4/-4

OpenStudy (abb0t):

So far you're corect, but what about the 1 on the end?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the answer \[3*x^6/6-x^-4/-4+1\] ?

OpenStudy (abb0t):

No. Remember that the integral is area under the curve, but is also anti-derivative. Think about a derivative that gives you 1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the derivative of x gives me 1right?

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, so instead of +1, write +x also don't forget +c in the end.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Yes. Sorry for the late response. I went to grab something.
