=t^4/12-1/(4t)+c

Explanation:

you don't do this by substitution just use the power rule

intx^ndx=x^(n+1)/(n+1), n!=-1

int(t^3/3+1/(4t^2))dt

=int(t^3/3+1/4t^(-2))dt

=1/3(t^4)/4+(1/4)t^(-1)/(-1)+c

=t^4/12-1/(4t)+c

t^4/12-1/(4t)+C

Explanation:

Writing
int( t^3/3+1/4t^(-2))dt
we get

t^4/12-1/(4t)+C
we are using that

int x^ndx=x^(n+1)/(n+1)+C if n ne -1
