Is this your integral?
\int 5 \pi cos(\pi t)dt
Click the integral above to see how the LaTeX looks.

A reasonable substitution would be u = \pi t, so du = \pi dt.
Can you take it from there?
 


<br /> 5 \pi sin(u)du<br /> <br />

<br /> <br /> 5 \pi sin(u) x du/ \pi<br /> <br />

<br /> <br /> 5sin(\pi t)<br /> <br />
 


What is the first line supposed to mean?
How did you get from the first line to the second?
How did you get from the second line to the third?
Are any of these expressions related to each other in any way?
Since this is an integration problem, one would think there should be an integral sign somewhere.
 
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...
