Confusing problem need help ASAP

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{}^{}12(y ^{4}+4y ^{2}+1)^{2}(y ^{3} +2y)dy\]

u=y^4+4y^2+1 du=4y^3+8y=4(y^3+2y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

@eashy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

integrate(12*u^2*du/4) =integrate(3u^2 du)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait can we do step by step as i have just learnt this method

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure, first step is to find a good a u to pick in this case, u=y^4+4y^2+1 works well (practice helps with this step) next, find du in terms of dy. in this case, du=(4y^3+8y) dy finally, replace all y's with u's and dx with du

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am getting just U^3 +C Is it correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

looks good. remember to replace u's with y's at the end though so u^3+c is really (y^4+4y^2+1)^3+C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes thank you
