integral of (1-2x)^4

\int (1 - 2 x)^{4} d x

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

Solution steps

\int (1 - 2 x)^{4} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int - \frac{u ^{4}}{2} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= - \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int u^{4} d u

Apply the Power Rule

= - \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{u ^{5}}{5}

Substitute back

u = 1 - 2 x

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

Simplify

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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