-1/(56(7x^2+3)^4)+C156(7x2+3)4+C

Explanation:

We wish to find:

intx/(7x^2+3)^5dxx(7x2+3)5dx

This is a prime case for substitution. Let u=7x^2+3u=7x2+3 so that du=14xdxdu=14xdx.

Note that we already have xdxxdx in the numerator, so we need to multiply the integrand by 1414 to obtain dudu. Balance this by multiplying the exterior of the integral by 1/14114.

=1/14int(14x)/(7x^2+3)^5dx=11414x(7x2+3)5dx

Now substitute in uu and dudu.

=1/14int(du)/u^5=1/14intu^-5du=114duu5=114u5du

Integrating u^-5u5 results in u^(-5+1)/(-5+1)+Cu5+15+1+C:

=1/14(u^-4/(-4))+C=-1/(56u^4)+C=-1/(56(7x^2+3)^4)+C=114(u44)+C=156u4+C=156(7x2+3)4+C
