In summary, using the substitution $u = z^3 + 1$ and the fact that $\mathrm{d}u = 3z^2\,\mathrm{d}z$, we can simplify the integral $\int (z^5 + 9z^2) * (z^3 + 1)^{12}\, dz$ to $\frac{1}{3} \left[ \frac{1}{14} \left( z^3 + 1 \right) ^{14} + \frac{8}{13} \left( z^3 + 1 \right) ^{13} \right] + C$.

\(\displaystyle \int (z^5 + 9z^2) * (z^3 + 1)^{12} \, dz\)

\(\displaystyle u = z^3 + 1\)
\(\displaystyle z^3 = u - 1\)

\(\displaystyle du = 3z^2 \)

\(\displaystyle 1/3 = z^2 dz\)

\(\displaystyle \int (z^5 + 9z^2) * (u - 1 + 1)^{12} \)

\(\displaystyle = \int (z^5 + 9z^2) * u^{12}\)

now I'm stuck..

Re: taking A.D

Once you have $u = z^3 + 1$, and that $du = 3z^2 dz$.
Observe:
\[
(z^5 + 9z^2)dz = z^2(z^3 + 9)dz \Rightarrow \frac 13 (u-1+9) du...
\]

Yea..Somehow my answer is incorrect?

Here is what I'm getting.

\(\displaystyle \frac{1}{3} \int z^2(z^3 + 9) * (u - 1 + 1)^{12} = \frac{1}{3} \int \frac{1}{3}(u - 1 + 9) * u^{12})\)

\(\displaystyle = \frac{1}{9} \int (u + 8) * u^{12} = \frac{1}{9} \int u^{13} + 8u^{12} = 1/9 ( \frac{u^{14}}{14} + \frac{8}{13} u^{13}) = \frac{(z^3 + 1)^{14}}{126} + \frac{8}{117} (z^3 + 1)^{13} + C\)

Re: taking A.D

Is it me or is there an extra $\frac 13$ in the equation?

No the 1/3 is definitely needed...

$\displaystyle \begin{align*} \int{ \left( z^5 + 9z^2 \right) \, \left( z^3 + 1 \right) ^{12}\,\mathrm{d}z} &= \int{ z^2\,\left( z^3 + 9 \right) \, \left( z^3 + 1 \right) ^{12}\,\mathrm{d}z} \\ &= \frac{1}{3} \int{ 3z^2 \,\left( z^3 + 1 + 8 \right) \, \left( z^3 + 1 \right) ^{12}\,\mathrm{d}z } \end{align*}$

So now make the substitution $\displaystyle \begin{align*} u = z^3 + 1 \implies \mathrm{d}u = 3z^2\,\mathrm{d}z \end{align*}$ and the integral becomes

$\displaystyle \begin{align*} \frac{1}{3} \int{ 3z^2 \, \left( z^3 + 1 + 8 \right) \, \left( z^3 + 1 \right) \, \mathrm{d}z } &= \frac{1}{3} \int{ \left( u + 8 \right) \, u^{12} \, \mathrm{d}u } \\ &= \frac{1}{3} \int{ u^{13} + 8u^{12}\,\mathrm{d}u } \\ &= \frac{1}{3} \left( \frac{1}{14} u^{14} + \frac{8}{13} u^{13} \right) + C \\ &= \frac{1}{3} \left[ \frac{1}{14} \left( z^3 + 1 \right) ^{14} + \frac{8}{13} \left( z^3 + 1 \right) ^{13} \right] + C \end{align*}$
 

FAQ: How Do You Integrate (z^5 + 9z^2) * (z^3 + 1)^12?

What is an anti-derivative?

An anti-derivative is the inverse operation of differentiation in calculus. It is the process of finding a function that, when differentiated, gives the original function. It is also known as the indefinite integral.

Why is finding the anti-derivative important?

Finding the anti-derivative is important because it allows us to solve a wide range of problems in mathematics, physics, and engineering. It is also a crucial step in solving definite integrals, which are used to calculate areas, volumes, and other quantities in real-world applications.

How do you find the anti-derivative of a function?

To find the anti-derivative of a function, we use the reverse rules of differentiation. This involves using integration techniques such as substitution, integration by parts, and partial fractions, depending on the complexity of the function. It is also helpful to have a good understanding of basic integration formulas.

Can all functions have an anti-derivative?

No, not all functions have an anti-derivative. For a function to have an anti-derivative, it must be continuous and differentiable over its entire domain. Some functions, such as the Dirac delta function, do not have an anti-derivative.

Is there a shortcut method for finding anti-derivatives?

Yes, there are some special cases where we can use shortcut methods to find anti-derivatives. For example, for polynomials, we can use the power rule, and for trigonometric functions, we can use trigonometric identities. However, these methods may not work for all functions, and it is important to have a good understanding of basic integration techniques.
