Question 1
2 markseasy
Find x3dx\int x^{3}\,dx.

Worked solution

  1. Write down the integral

    x3dx\int x^{3}\,dx

    We need a function whose derivative is the integrand.

  2. Apply the standard result

    x3dx=14x4\int x^{3}\,dx = \frac{1}{4}x^{4}

    Use the formula-book result for this type of term.

  3. Add the constant of integration

    14x4+c\frac{1}{4}x^{4} + c

    An indefinite integral always includes an arbitrary constant c.

Answer
14x4+c\frac{1}{4}x^{4} + c
