The discussion focuses on finding the derivative of the function y = u^5/(1+u^3) within the context of a definite integral from 8 to 8-7x. Participants highlight that the original problem requires the derivative of a specific integral, not just the function itself. There are concerns about incomplete work, particularly the omission of du and the lack of clarity in operations performed. Additionally, issues with syntax in the software used for submission may lead to incorrect flagging of answers. Clear and complete input is essential for accurate results in such calculations.

Here is my work on it. I thought I did it correct, but again, was told it was wrong.

Your answer looks fine to me. My only quibbles are 1) you aren't finding the derivative of ##\frac{u^5}{1 + u^3}## -- the problem asks for the derivative of a specific definite integral of this function; 2) your work is very incomplete - you omitted du, and you don't show what operations you're doing.

If the brain-dead software is flagging your answer as incorrect, it's possible that what you entered isn't syntactically correct -- such as missing parentheses or maybe they were looking for the expanded forms of the numerator and denominator.

What exactly did you enter into the form?
