Integral of
The integral of is .
How to work it out
- 1
We want an antiderivative of f(x) = 8 * .
- 2
Method: constant multiple and power rule.
- 3
That gives the antiderivative; add the constant C because any constant disappears when you differentiate:
- 4
Check by differentiating the answer; you must get the original function back:
- 5
As a definite integral, evaluate the antiderivative at both ends and subtract. Between 0 and 1:

\[ \int 8 x^{6}\,dx = \frac{8 x^{7}}{7} + C \]
\[ \int 8 x^{6}\,dx \]
\[ \frac{d}{dx}\left[\frac{8 x^{7}}{7}\right] = \frac{392 x^{6}}{49} \]
\[ \int_{0}^{1} 8 x^{6}\,dx = \Big[\frac{8 x^{7}}{7}\Big]_{0}^{1} \approx 1.1428571 \]Definite integrals of the same function

Questions
What is the integral of 8 * ?
The integral of is .
Why do we add + C?
Every function F(x) + C has the same derivative, so the antiderivative is only defined up to a constant.
