41) ∫ (xdx) / (7x^2 + 3)^5

42) ∫ (sint) / (3 + cos t)^3 dthow do i solve this? i have no idea where to start...can you have a step by step process/analysis on how to figure out the answer? thanks!

Substitution:
41) u=x2
42) u=cos t
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
