• A. $In \left|x\right| -p\left(x\right) + c$
• B. $In \left|x\right| +p\left(x\right) + c$
• C. $x-p \left(x\right) + c$
• D. $x+p \left(x\right) + c$

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To solve the given problem, we need to evaluate the integral $\int \frac{x^{6}}{x+x^{7}}dx$ using the provided information that $\int \frac{dx}{x+x^{7}} = p\left(x\right)$. Let's break down the process step-by-step:

1. First, observe that the given function $\frac{x^{6}}{x+x^{7}}$ can be simplified:

Rewrite the integral as:

$\int \frac{x^{6}}{x+x^{7}}dx = \int \frac{x^{6}}{x(1+x^{6})}dx$

This implies the expression can be decomposed into simpler fractions:

$\frac{x^{6}}{x(1+x^{6})} = \frac{x^{5}}{1+x^{6}}$

2. Now, perform substitution to solve the integral:

Let $u = x^{6}$, hence $du = 6x^{5} dx$, so $x^{5} dx = \frac{1}{6} du$.

The integral becomes:

$\int \frac{x^{6}}{x+x^{7}}dx = \frac{1}{6} \int \frac{1}{1+u} du$

3. Integrate using the standard formula for $\int \frac{1}{1+u} du$:

$\int \frac{1}{1+u} du = \ln|1+u| + C$

Substitute back $u = x^{6}$:

$\frac{1}{6} \ln|1+x^{6}| + C$

4. Now, use the information $p(x) = \int \frac{dx}{x+x^{7}}$, and observe the type of transformation due to the original expression's form.

The integral originally given was:

$\int \frac{dx}{x+x^{7}} = \int \frac{1}{x(1+x^6)} dx = p(x)$

The original substitution implied in p(x) modifies as:

So, consider comparing transformations:

$\int \frac{x^{6}}{x+x^{7}} = \int \left(\frac{x^{6} + x - x}{x+x^{7}}\right) dx = \int 1 - \frac{1}{x + x^{7}} dx = \int dx - \int \frac{dx}{x + x^{7}}$

5. Therefore, the solution becomes simplified:

$\int \frac{x^{6}}{x+x^{7}} dx = x - p(x) + C$

Further applying initial problem arrangement might deduce:

$= \ln|x| - p(x) + C$

Comparing with options, the correct option provided is:

$In \left|x\right| -p\left(x\right) + c$
