Question

Evaluate exactly the value of the integral from -1 to 0 (2x^4+8x)^3 (4x^3+4),dx. Include the use of substitution and the antiderivative.

Answer 1

Hello,

Let's be

 $z=2x^4+8x \\ dz=(8x^3+8)\ dx=8(x^3+1)\ dx \\ \int\limits^0_{-1} {(2x^4+8x)^3*(4x^3+4)} \, dx =4* \int\limits^0_{-6} { \dfrac{z^3}{2}} \, dz \\ = 2* \left[\begin{array}{ccc} \dfrac{z^4}{4}\end{array}\right] ^0_{-6}= \left[\begin{array}{ccc} \dfrac{z^4}{2}\end{array}\right] ^0_{-6}=0-648=-648$
