Evaluate the following indefinite integral: (2t6-3)/t3 dt



The Attempt at a Solution


I know I need to substitute. Tried u= t3 and found du= 3t2dt. Tried to find where du would substitute in, but found nothing. Also tried u= 2t6-3. Found du=12t5dt and again cannot find where to sub in the du. Any suggestions on where I'm going wrong?

You don't need to substitute. \frac{2t^6 - 3}{t^3} = 2t^3 -3t^{-3}. Now all you need to do is find antiderivatives for those two functions, using the power rule.
 
Hey thanks for the help!
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
