The problem involves the integration of the function 3/8 * ∫ (y^3) * √((y^4)+9) dy, evaluated from 0 to 2. The context appears to be related to techniques of integration, possibly within a calculus framework.
Some participants have shared their attempts at the problem, with one indicating that a substitution worked well for them. Others have provided suggestions for reviewing integration techniques, indicating a collaborative exploration of the topic.
There is mention of double integrals and the challenges associated with ordinary substitutions, suggesting that the problem may involve more complex integration techniques.
Looks like an ordinary substitution would work - u = y^4 + 9 ==> du = 4u^3*duEmilyd said:Homework Statement
