(3t)/8(2t+7)^(4/3)-9/112(2t+7)^(7/3)+C

Explanation:

We start with:

intt(2t+7)^(1/3)dt

Integration by parts tells us that:

intuv' = uv-intu'v

So we first need to determine which of our products is u and which is v'. As a general rule of thumb, u is usually the product that will get 'simpler' upon differentiating.

-So we will take u and its respective derivative to be:

u = t; u'=1

-v' and its respective integral to be:

v' = (2t+7)^(1/3); v=3/8(2t+7)^(4/3)

So the integral will now become:

intt(2t+7)^(1/3)dt = (3t)/8(2t+7)^(4/3)- int3/8(2t+7)^(4/3)dt

We can now directly integrate that to finish the task and get:

(3t)/8(2t+7)^(4/3)-9/112(2t+7)^(7/3)+C
