Question:

If $\int x^5 e^{-4x^3} dx = \frac{1}{48}e^{-4x^3} f(x) + c$, then $f(x) =$

Show Hint

When exponent contains $x^n$, substitution $t=x^n$ simplifies integration quickly.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Let \( t = x^3 \Rightarrow dt = 3x^2 dx \) \[ I = \int x^3 \cdot x^2 e^{-4x^3} dx = \frac{1}{3}\int t e^{-4t} dt \] Integration by parts: \[ I = \frac{1}{3}\left(-\frac{t}{4}e^{-4t} - \frac{1}{16}e^{-4t}\right) \] \[ = \frac{1}{48}e^{-4t}(-4t-1) \] Substitute \( t=x^3 \): \[ f(x) = -4x^3 - 1 \]
