ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

whats the question ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i thought the first integral would be x^6/6 but i got that wrong

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

how did u get ur answer ? can you show the work quick

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i took a part and solved each integral

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you cannot take parts and solve like that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im trying to upload a pic of my work

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

`u substitution` is easy to use here

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

substitute \(x^2 - 4 = u\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

differentiate both sides, what do you get ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait what..

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

have you heard of `u substitution method` before ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait it is not 1/60

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/50*

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

if you just want answer : your original first answer is right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i dont get why it would not be x^6/6

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\large \int x^5 ~dx = \dfrac{x^6}{6}+ C\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

but your integral is different.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh!!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

x^5(x^6-4)^10 is NOT same as x^5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just needed it written out to see it

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

what

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

dont rush have u figured out how to work the problem ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

that integral cannot be evaluated into any known elementary functions
