Helpppp Please!!!(: Find the indefinite integrals. Problems below.
\[\int\limits_{}^{} x^3(3+13x^{4} )^{12}\]
and \[\int\limits_{}^{} x^2(x^3-7)^{17}\]
Tried a substitution? Notice that the derivative of 3+13x^4 is 4*13x^3...that's a good clue that you should use a substitution.
(since there is an x^4 out front)
how do I do that?
let u= 3+13x^4
Yes. Now find du/dx.
I don't know how to do that?
@Loser66
Differentiate u= 3+13x^4
52x^3
Correct. \[\Large \frac{ du }{dx } = 52x^3\] now rearrange it a bit, to write it this way... (divide both sides by 52, multiply both sides by dx) \[\Large \frac{ du }{52 } = x^3 dx\]
\[du=\frac{ x^3 dx }{ 52 }\]
remember to include that dx
Keep it as what i wrote, \[\Large \frac{ du }{52 } = x^3 dx\] the reason you do that is because of the original integral... \[\Large \int\limits\limits_{}^{} x^3(3+13x^{4} )^{12} dx\] which we can write as \[\Large \int\limits\limits\limits_{}^{} (3+13x^{4} )^{12} x^3 dx\] now look at this again... \[\Large \frac{ du }{52 } = x^3 dx\]
