Need some help with integration...

OpenStudy (casodi):

\[y = x ^{5}\sqrt{1-x ^{3}}\]

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Split \(x^5\) into \(x^2 * x^3\), then put \(1-x^3 = u \)

OpenStudy (casodi):

Ah I will try this asap.

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

:) Take your time

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Tag me when you are done... till then I will have a look at others' problems :)

OpenStudy (casodi):

cool thanx

OpenStudy (casodi):

just wanna make sure my steps are correct \[x ^{3}.x ^{2}\sqrt{1-x ^{3}}\] then through u substitution i get \[-\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\int\limits_{?}^{?}x ^{3}.\sqrt{u}.du\] Is this correct so far?

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Yeps :D

OpenStudy (casodi):

problem i have is i dont know how to get to the text books answer from there books answer is \[-\frac{ 2 }{ 9}(1-x^3)^{\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }} +\frac{ 2 }{ 15}(1-x^3)^{\frac{ 5 }{ 2 }}+c\]

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

No problem.. we got: \[\int x^3. \sqrt{u} .du \] Now, remember \(1 - x^3 = u \implies x^3 = 1- u\)

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

So, our integral will become: \[\int (1-u). \sqrt{u} . du\] Can you solve this integral?

OpenStudy (casodi):

Damn did not think of that. Let me check.

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Sure

OpenStudy (casodi):

Is this correct? \[(x - \frac{ u ^{2} }{ 2 }).\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }u ^{\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }}\]

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

When you are integrating only in terms of u... make sure that your result contains only u..

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

See... the integral will become... \[\int (\sqrt{u} - \sqrt{u^3}).du \] \[= u^{3/2}/(3/2) - u^{5/2}/(5/2) + C\] \[= 2u^{3/2}/3 - 2u^{5/2}/5 + C\]

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

\[=2u^{\frac{3}{2}} (1 - u) + C\]

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Now, just put u = 1 - x^3

OpenStudy (casodi):

Ah I see my mistake now. Thank you very much for your help.

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

:) Glad to be of help
