Find the integral. Integral of (sqrt(x^3 + 3))/(x^11) dx.
Question:
Find the integral.
{eq}\int \sqrt{x^3 + 3}x^{11} \, \mathrm{d}x {/eq}
Evaluating integrals by substitution:
Substitution is a technique based from chain rule. In this problem, the inside of the square root will give the best substitution.
If given an integral in the form {eq}\displaystyle \int g'(x)f(g(x)) dx {/eq}, use the substitution {eq}u = g(x) {/eq} to reduce the integral to {eq}\displaystyle \int f(u) du {/eq}.
