SUMMARY

The integration of the expression x*[x^2(1-x^3)^(n-1)] results in [(1-x^3)^n] / -3n. The key to understanding this integration lies in the proper substitution of the bracketed term. By recognizing the structure of the integrand and applying the appropriate substitution, the solution becomes clear. This integration technique is essential for handling polynomial expressions raised to a power.

Hi

I am doing integration and cannot see how when you integrate

x*[x^2(1-x^3)^(n-1)]

you get

[(1-x^3)^n] / -3n

Just can't see it, any help appreciated!
