integral of (x^2-1)^2(2x)

\int (x^{2} - 1)^{2} (2 x) d x

\frac{x ^{6}}{3} - x^{4} + x^{2} + C

Solution steps

\int (x^{2} - 1)^{2} \cdot 2 x d x

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= 2 \cdot \int (x^{2} - 1)^{2} x d x

Expand

(x^{2} - 1)^{2} x : x^{5} - 2 x^{3} + x

= 2 \cdot \int x^{5} - 2 x^{3} + x d x

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= 2 (\int x^{5} d x - \int 2 x^{3} d x + \int x d x)

\int x^{5} d x = \frac{x ^{6}}{6}

\int 2 x^{3} d x = \frac{x ^{4}}{2}

\int x d x = \frac{x ^{2}}{2}

= 2 (\frac{x ^{6}}{6} - \frac{x ^{4}}{2} + \frac{x ^{2}}{2})

Simplify

2 (\frac{x ^{6}}{6} - \frac{x ^{4}}{2} + \frac{x ^{2}}{2}) : \frac{x ^{6}}{3} - x^{4} + x^{2}

= \frac{x ^{6}}{3} - x^{4} + x^{2}

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{x ^{6}}{3} - x^{4} + x^{2} + C
