Solution and Explanation

Let x3 - 1 = t

∴ 3x2dx = dt

\(\Rightarrow \int(x^3-1)^{\frac{1}{3}}x^5dx= \int x^3.x^2dx\)

\(\int t^{\frac{1}{3}}(t+1)\frac{dt}{3}\)

=\(\frac{1}{3}\int \bigg(t^{\frac{4}{3}}+t^{\frac{1}{3}}\big)dt\)

\(\frac{1}{3}\bigg[\frac{t^{\frac{7}{3}}}{\frac{7}{3}}+\frac{t^{\frac{4}{3}}}{\frac{4}{3}}\bigg]+C\)

\(\frac{1}{3}\bigg[\frac{3}{7}t^{\frac{7}{3}}+\frac{3}{4}t^{\frac{4}{3}}\bigg]+C\)

\(\frac{1}{7}(x^3-1)^{\frac{7}{3}}+\frac{1}{4}(x^3-1)^{\frac{4}{3}}+C\)

Methods of Integration

Given below is the list of the different methods of integration that are useful in simplifying integration problems:

Integration by Parts:

 If f(x) and g(x) are two functions and their product is to be integrated, then the formula to integrate f(x).g(x) using by parts method is:

∫f(x).g(x) dx = f(x) ∫g(x) dx − ∫(f′(x) [ ∫g(x) dx)]dx + C

Here f(x) is the first function and g(x) is the second function.

Method of Integration Using Partial Fractions:

The formula to integrate rational functions of the form f(x)/g(x) is:

∫[f(x)/g(x)]dx = ∫[p(x)/q(x)]dx + ∫[r(x)/s(x)]dx

where

f(x)/g(x) = p(x)/q(x) + r(x)/s(x) and

g(x) = q(x).s(x)

Integration by Substitution Method

Hence the formula for integration using the substitution method becomes:

∫g(f(x)) dx = ∫g(u)/h(u) du

Integration by Decomposition

Reverse Chain Rule

This method of integration is used when the integration is of the form ∫g'(f(x)) f'(x) dx. In this case, the integral is given by,

∫g'(f(x)) f'(x) dx = g(f(x)) + C
