The integral expression ∫3x(1 - x⁴), dx when evaluated is 3x²/2 - x⁶/2 + c
How to evaluate the integral expression
From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:
∫3x(1 - x⁴) dx
Factor out 3 from the expression
So, we have
∫3x(1 - x⁴), dx = 3∫x(1 - x⁴), dx
Open the brackets
This gives
∫3x(1 - x⁴), dx = 3∫[x - x⁵], dx
Integrate the expression
So we have the following representation
∫3x(1 - x⁴), dx = 3[x²/2 - x⁶/6] + c
Open the brackets
This gives
∫3x(1 - x⁴), dx = 3x²/2 - x⁶/2 + c
Hence, the integral expression when evaluated is ∫3x(1 - x⁴), dx = 3x²/2 - x⁶/2 + c
