Math Problem Statement

∫ 4x^3 (2x^2 + 1)^12 dx

Solution

The integral you uploaded is:

4x3(2x2+1)12dx\int 4x^3(2x^2 + 1)^{12} \, dx

Solution:

We can use the substitution method for this integral.

Let: u=2x2+1u = 2x^2 + 1

Then, differentiate both sides with respect to xx: du=4xdxdu = 4x \, dx

Now, divide by 4 to solve for x3dxx^3 dx: x3dx=14dux^3 \, dx = \frac{1}{4} du

Substitute into the integral: 4x3(2x2+1)12dx=(u)12du\int 4x^3(2x^2 + 1)^{12} \, dx = \int (u)^{12} \, du

This is a standard power of uu-integral: u12du=u1313+C\int u^{12} \, du = \frac{u^{13}}{13} + C

Now substitute back u=2x2+1u = 2x^2 + 1: (2x2+1)1313+C\frac{(2x^2 + 1)^{13}}{13} + C

Thus, the solution to the integral is: (2x2+1)1313+C\frac{(2x^2 + 1)^{13}}{13} + C
