Math Problem Statement

Determine ∫x^5(x^6 + 9)^7 dx with the given multiple-choice options.

Solution

The integral provided in the image is:

x5(x6+9)7dx\int x^5 \left(x^6 + 9\right)^7 dx

We can solve this integral using substitution. Let:

u=x6+9u = x^6 + 9

Then, differentiate both sides to find dudu:

du=6x5dxdu = 6x^5 dx

Now, we can rewrite the integral in terms of uu:

x5(x6+9)7dx=16u7du\int x^5 \left(x^6 + 9\right)^7 dx = \frac{1}{6} \int u^7 du

The integral of u7u^7 is:

u7du=u88\int u^7 du = \frac{u^8}{8}

Therefore, the result of the integral becomes:

16×u88=148(x6+9)8+C\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{u^8}{8} = \frac{1}{48} \left(x^6 + 9\right)^8 + C

Hence, the correct answer is:

(B) 148(x6+9)8+C\frac{1}{48} (x^6 + 9)^8 + C

Would you like more details on the solution or have any questions about this process?

Here are some related questions:

  1. How would you solve an integral with a different substitution method?
  2. Can you verify this result using integration by parts?
  3. What happens if we change the exponent in the function (x6+9)(x^6 + 9)?
  4. How would the result change if we had a different expression inside the parentheses (e.g., x4+9x^4 + 9)?
  5. What would happen if the exponent on x5x^5 was changed?

Tip: When using substitution in integrals, always try to match the derivative of the inside function to a part of the integrand for a simpler transformation.
