integral of (5x-4)^{-3}

integral

(5 x - 4)^{- 3}

- \frac{1}{10 ( 5 x - 4 ) ^{2}} + C

Solution steps

\int (5 x - 4)^{- 3} d x

Apply exponent rule:

a^{- b} = \frac{1}{a ^{b}}

= \int \frac{1}{( 5 x - 4 ) ^{3}} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{1}{5 u ^{3}} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{5} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u ^{3}} d u

Apply the Power Rule

= \frac{1}{5} (- \frac{1}{2 u ^{2}})

Substitute back

u = 5 x - 4

= \frac{1}{5} (- \frac{1}{2 ( 5 x - 4 ) ^{2}})

Simplify

\frac{1}{5} (- \frac{1}{2 ( 5 x - 4 ) ^{2}}) : - \frac{1}{10 ( 5 x - 4 ) ^{2}}

= - \frac{1}{10 ( 5 x - 4 ) ^{2}}

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{10 ( 5 x - 4 ) ^{2}} + C
