Subject: integrals (calculus)
Name: James
Who are you: Student

how do you integrate:

1) x^8 (x^8 + 2)^2 ((x^8 + 2)^3 + 1)^4

i've tried using u = x^8 + 2

2) (X^3) / (sqrt(x^2 -1))

3)1 / ((x^1/2) + (X^1/4))

4) (tanx^4)

(tanx^2)^2

(secx^2 -1)^2

NOW WHAT?

THANK YOU

James,

I don't see anything to do here except to multiply out the expression, get a polynomial of order 120 and then integrate. I used The Integrator that uses Mathematica and it seems like that is the technique that Mathematica used. Here is the output I received from The Integrator
