Solution

To solve the integral (9x813x7)dx\int \left(9x^8 - \frac{1}{3}x^7\right) dx, we will integrate each term separately.

  1. Integrate 9x89x^8: 9x8dx=98+1x8+1=99x9=x9\int 9x^8 \, dx = \frac{9}{8+1} x^{8+1} = \frac{9}{9} x^9 = x^9

  2. Integrate 13x7-\frac{1}{3}x^7: 13x7dx=1317+1x7+1=1318x8=124x8\int -\frac{1}{3}x^7 \, dx = -\frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{7+1} x^{7+1} = -\frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{8} x^8 = -\frac{1}{24} x^8

Combining these results: (9x813x7)dx=x9124x8+C\int \left(9x^8 - \frac{1}{3}x^7\right) dx = x^9 - \frac{1}{24} x^8 + C

None of the options in the given choices match this form directly. However, since the constants may appear differently in simplified form, let’s closely match our result with one of the options given:

Comparing with the options:

  • Option A: 98x8+43x7/3+C\frac{9}{8}x^8 + \frac{4}{3}x^{7/3} + C
  • Option B: 98x813x7/3+C\frac{9}{8}x^8 - \frac{1}{3}x^{7/3} + C
  • Option C: 9x8x4/3+C9x^8 - x^{4/3} + C
  • Option D: 98x813x8+C\frac{9}{8}x^8 - \frac{1}{3}x^8 + C

The form x9124x8+Cx^9 - \frac{1}{24} x^8 + C does not match any of the provided answer choices directly.
