QuestionDetermine the indefinite integral.
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
What is this asking?
We need to find the indefinite integral of with respect to .
Basically, we're looking for a function whose derivative is .
Watch out!
Remember the chain rule!
When differentiating to a power, the derivative of that power comes down as a factor.
STEP 2
1. Set up the integral
2. Find the integral
STEP 3
Alright, let's **start** with our integral: .
We can **rewrite** this by pulling the constant **8** out front: .
This makes things a little tidier!
STEP 4
Now, think about what function has a derivative of .
If we just had , its derivative would be because of the chain rule.
We'd bring the **7** down in front.
STEP 5
We want to end up with after integrating, so let's try .
If we differentiate , we get , which simplifies to or just !
Perfect!
STEP 6
So, the integral of is .
Don't forget the **8** we pulled out earlier!
We also need to add our constant of integration, which we'll call .
STEP 7
Putting it all together, we have .
We can simplify this to .
STEP 8
Our **final answer** for the indefinite integral is .
