Substitution with a given u
Problem 4.484 · hard
Evaluate \( \displaystyle \int \left(e^{4 x} + 5\right)^{6} e^{4 x}\, dx \) using the substitution \( \displaystyle u = e^{4 x} + 5 \).
- \[ \frac{d}{d x} \left(e^{4 x} + 5\right) = 4 e^{4 x} \]So du = 4e^(4x) dx.✓ Proved
- In terms of u the integral becomes ∫ u**6/4 du.Reviewed
- \[ \frac{d}{d u} \frac{u^{7}}{28} = \frac{u^{6}}{4} \]An antiderivative in u is u**7/28; differentiating confirms it.✓ Proved
- \[ \frac{\left(e^{4 x} + 5\right)^{7}}{28} \]Replace u by exp(4*x) + 5.✓ Proved
- \[ \frac{d}{d x} \frac{\left(e^{4 x} + 5\right)^{7}}{28} = \left(e^{4 x} + 5\right)^{6} e^{4 x} \]Differentiating the answer returns the integrand.✓ Proved
Answer \( \frac{\left(e^{4 x} + 5\right)^{7}}{28} + C \)

Proved: SymPy reduced the difference between the two sides to zero. Checked independently: a separate
method, named above, confirmed it. Checked numerically: the two sides agree at every sampled point, which is evidence,
not proof. Reviewed: a model or a person read it; that is all a sentence can have. Solution by
generator:structured/indefinite_substitution, checked 2026-10-06 with SymPy 1.14.0.
