Answer

Adding the constant of integration, we get the final answer: \(\boxed{\frac{x^{16}}{2} - x^{8} + C}\)

Steps

Step 1 :Given the integral \(\int 8 x^{7}(x^{8}-1) dx\)

Step 2 :We can simplify the integral by expanding the expression inside the integral. The integral of a sum of terms can be found by integrating each term separately. The integral of a constant times a function is equal to the constant times the integral of the function. The power rule for integration states that the integral of x^n dx is \((1/(n+1))x^{(n+1)}\).

Step 3 :Applying these rules, we get \(\int 8 x^{7}(x^{8}-1) dx = \int 8 x^{15} dx - \int 8 x^{7} dx\)

Step 4 :Integrating each term separately, we get \(\frac{x^{16}}{2} - x^{8}\)

Step 5 :Adding the constant of integration, we get the final answer: \(\boxed{\frac{x^{16}}{2} - x^{8} + C}\)
