u=x6+8 is a differentiable function. Its rang is (−∞,∞).
The fuctionf(x)=(x6+8)2 is continuous on (−∞,∞).
Then we can use the Substitution Rule and
u=x6+8,du=6x5dx
∫(x6+8)2(6x5)dx=∫u2du=3u3+C
=3(x6+8)3+C In our case we have
∫(x6+8)2dxinstead of
∫(x6+8)2(6x5)dx Therefore it is not useful to integrate
∫(x6+8)2dx with u− substitution u=x6+8.
∫(x6+8)2dx=∫(x12+16x6+64)dx
=13x13+716x7+64x+C
