i need to integrate this eqn w.r.t (t).
pls help
 
Hello teng,

make use of the binomial theorem.

[tex](a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2[/tex]

The coefficient 81 should be a good hint already. :wink:

After you made use of the binomial theorem you will have to integrate a polynomial in t. Do you know how to do that?

If the t^4 bothers you, substitute t^2 = r in the equation and then factorize the quadratic form. Don't forget to revert to t before you integrate.
