What is the integral of (4-2x)^3 ?

The integral of (4-2x)^3 is -1/8 (4-2x)^4+C

integral of (4-2x)^3

\int (4 - 2 x)^{3} d x

- \frac{1}{8} (4 - 2 x)^{4} + C

Solution steps

\int (4 - 2 x)^{3} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int - \frac{u ^{3}}{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^{3} d u

Apply the Power Rule

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

Substitute back

u = 4 - 2 x

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

Simplify

- \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{( 4 - 2 x ) ^{4}}{4} : - \frac{1}{8} (4 - 2 x)^{4}

= - \frac{1}{8} (4 - 2 x)^{4}

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{8} (4 - 2 x)^{4} + C

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

\int \frac{1}{( 3 x ) ^{2} + 1} d x

\int 2 t^{2} cos (t^{3} - 2) d t

\int cot (\frac{x}{a}) d x

\int x^{2} sec (x^{3} - 1) tan (x^{3} - 1) d x
