Answer

\(\boxed{-\frac{1}{4} (8x + 13)^{-5} + C}\) is the solution to the integral, where \(C\) is the constant of integration.

Steps

Step 1 :Identify the substitution: \(u = 8x + 13\).

Step 2 :Differentiate the substitution: \(du = 8dx\).

Step 3 :Solve for \(dx\): \(dx = du/8\).

Step 4 :Substitute \(u\) and \(dx\) into the integral: \(\int \frac{10}{u^{6}} \cdot \frac{du}{8} = \frac{10}{8} \int \frac{1}{u^{6}} du\).

Step 5 :Simplify the integral: \(\frac{5}{4} \int u^{-6} du\).

Step 6 :Evaluate the integral: \(\frac{5}{4} \cdot \left(-\frac{u^{-5}}{5}\right) = -\frac{1}{4} u^{-5}\).

Step 7 :Substitute \(u = 8x + 13\) back into the result: \(-\frac{1}{4} (8x + 13)^{-5}\).

Step 8 :Check the result by differentiating \(-\frac{1}{4} (8x + 13)^{-5}\) with respect to \(x\) and confirming that it gives back the original integrand \(\frac{10}{(8x + 13)^6}\).

Step 9 :\(\boxed{-\frac{1}{4} (8x + 13)^{-5} + C}\) is the solution to the integral, where \(C\) is the constant of integration.
