\displaystyle\int_8^(10)(x-8)(x-9)(x-10)\,\mathrm dx

Consider the substitution,


y=x-9\implies\begin{cases}y-1=x-10\\y+1=x-8\\\mathrm dy=\mathrm dx\end{cases}

so that the integral is equivalent to


\displaystyle\int_(-1)^1y(y+1)(y-1)\,\mathrm dy

Notice that


f(y)=y(y+1)(y-1)\implies f(-y)=-y(-y+1)(-y-1)=-y(y-1)(y+1)=-f(y)

which means
f(y) is odd, so


\implies\displaystyle\int_(-1)^1f(y)\,\mathrm dy=0

Perhaps more work than necessary, but it does make it easier to see that the original integrand exhibits some symmetry about
x=9.
