The suggested substitution means du=6x5 dx so that the integrand becomes
(1/6) u20 du and the result is u21/126.
Now make the substitution back into the x variable, i.e. substitute x6-4 for u.

asked 11/30/20Evaluate the integral
` \int x^5 (x^6 - 4)^(20) dx `
by making the substitution ` u = x^6 -4 `.
