Identify Integral: Identify the integral to be solved.We need to evaluate the integral of the function x5∗e1−x6 from 0 to 1.
Substitution Simplification: Look for a substitution that simplifies the integral.Let u=1−x6, which implies that du=−6x5dx. We can solve for dx to get dx=−6x5du.
Change Limits: Change the limits of integration according to the substitution.When x=0, u=1−06=1.When x=1, u=1−16=0.So the new limits of integration are from u=1 to u=0.
Rewrite in Terms of u: Rewrite the integral in terms of u.The integral becomes:∫10x5⋅eu⋅(−6x5du)The x5 terms cancel out, and we can pull out the constant factor of −61:−61⋅∫10eudu
Evaluate Integral: Evaluate the integral with the new limits.The integral of eu with respect to u is eu, so we have:−61⋅[eu]10
Apply Fundamental Theorem: Apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. We substitute the limits of integration into the antiderivative: −61∗(e0−e1)
Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression.Since e0=1 and e1=e, we have:−61×(1−e)
