Integral help please!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find the integral. Assume b is a constant greater than 1. \[\int\limits_{}^{}b^{x}(1+b^{x})^{4}dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can use Binomial theorem.

OpenStudy (loser66):

\[ let~u = 1+b^x\rightarrow du=ln |b|* b^xdx\\\frac{du}{ln|b|}=b^xdx\]

OpenStudy (loser66):

it turns \[\int \frac{1}{ln|b|}u^4du\]

OpenStudy (loser66):

ok, it's correct. now, take integral , that's it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Loser66 Okay, so then I'm seeing that the integral would be \[\frac{ u^{5} }{ 5 }*\frac{ x }{ \ln \left| 2 \right| }\]

OpenStudy (loser66):

how do you get ln|2| ? why do you have x in numerator? You just have u^5/5ln|b| +C and then plug u = 1+b^X you have the final answer is \[\frac{(1+b^x)^5}{5ln|b|}\]that's it

Oh, okay. Thank you so much!
