Integrate Using u-Substitution integral of 4(6x+1)^5 with respect to x

The question asks for the application of the integration technique known as u-substitution to solve the integral of an algebraic expression. Specifically, you are to integrate the function 4(6x+1)^5 with respect to x, where 4 is a constant multiplier and (6x+1)^5 represents a composite function raised to the fifth power. U-substitution involves identifying a part of the integrand (the function being integrated) that can be substituted with a new variable (commonly denoted as 'u') which simplifies the integral, followed by finding the derivative of this substitution (du) to replace the dx term. After the substitution, the integral is easier to evaluate, and once this is done, the variable u is replaced back with the original expression in terms of x to complete the integration process.

Reduce the fraction by canceling common factors.

Step:2.3.1

Factor out 2 from 4u5.

Step:2.3.2

Remove common factors.

Step:2.3.2.1

Factor 2 out of 6.

Step:2.3.2.2

Cancel the 2's.

Step:2.3.2.3

Rewrite the integral as 2u53du.

Step:3

Extract the constant 23 from the integral.

Step:4

Step:5

Simplify the expression.

Step:5.1

Expand 23(16u6+C).

Step:5.2

Combine the constants to get 19u6+C.

Step:6

Substitute u back in terms of x to obtain 19(6x+1)6+C.

Knowledge Notes:

  1. u-Substitution: A technique used in integration to simplify the integral by substituting a part of the integrand with a new variable u. This often simplifies the integral into a more recognizable form.

  2. Sum Rule: A derivative rule that states the derivative of a sum is the sum of the derivatives.

  3. Constant Multiple Rule: A derivative rule that allows us to take constants out of the derivative. If c is a constant and f(x) is a function, then ddx[cf(x)]=cddx[f(x)].

  4. Power Rule: A basic rule of differentiation that states if f(x)=xn, then f(x)=nxn1.

  5. Constant Rule: A rule in differentiation that states the derivative of a constant is zero.

  6. Integration: The process of finding the integral of a function, which is the reverse operation of differentiation. It can be thought of as finding the area under the curve of the function.

  7. Power Rule for Integration: A rule for integration that states xndx=1n+1xn+1+C, where n1 and C is the constant of integration.
