Homework Statement


Evaluate

[tex]\oint x^2 (1-x^3)^6 dx[/tex]

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



let u= 1-x^3
du= -3x^2
-1/3 du= x^2 dx
-1/3 [tex]\oint (u)^6[/tex]
= -1/3 (u^7/7)
= -1/21 (1-x^3)^7 + C

Is this done correct? I think I followed all the right steps but there is something about it that has me wondering.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
the only problem I see is that circle on your integral symbol!

What do you get if you differentiate -(1/21)(1-x3)7+ C?
 
Yeah, the circle isn't supposed to be there I couldn't find a normal Integration sign.
