The integral ∫1/(3x+4)³ from a(1) to b(∞) is ∫₁⁰⁰[1/(3x+4)³]dx = 1/6

To find the integral ∫1/(3x+4)³ from a(1) to b(∞), we proceed as follows

Since we have the integral ∫1/(3x+4)³ from a(1) to b(∞). It is re-written as

∫₁⁰⁰[1/(3x+4)³]dx

Now, let u = 3x + 4

Differentiating, we have that

du/dx = d(3x + 4)/dx

= d3x/dx + d4/dx

= 3dx/dx + 0

= 3

du/dx = 3

dx = du/3

So, substituting u and dx into the integral equation, we have that

∫₁⁰⁰[1/(3x+4)³]dx = ∫₁⁰⁰[1/u³]du/3

= 1/3∫₁⁰⁰[1/u³]du

= 1/3[u⁻³⁺¹/(-3 + 1)]₁⁰⁰

= 1/3[u⁻²/(-2)]₁⁰⁰

= -1/6[u⁻²]₁⁰⁰

= -1/6[1/u²]₁⁰⁰

= -1/6[1/∞² - 1/1²]

= -1/6[1/∞ - 1/1]

= -1/6[0 - 1]

= -1/6[-1]

= 1/6

So, ∫₁⁰⁰[1/(3x+4)³]dx = 1/6
