Homework Statement


∫3/43x2e-(x/4)3


Homework Equations


F(x) = 0xf(t) dt


The Attempt at a Solution



The solution is 1 - e-(x/4)3

I have tried integrating but I am not able to arrive at the solution...

What is the indefinite integral of e-(x/4)3?

It is hard to make out what your equations actually are. But you aren't asked to integrate e-(x/4)3. You have an x2 in there. Basically, ignoring the constants you have an integral of the form

[tex]\int x^2e^{-x^3}\, dx[/tex]

and you need to do a substitution similar to u = x3, du = 3x2dx but modified to include your constants.
