Options
- A( 4) ⁻¹ 4^x+C
- B4 4 ⁻¹ 4+C
- C1 4 ⁻¹ (4^x )+C
- D1 4 ⁻¹ 4^x+C
Correct answer
D. 1 4 ⁻¹ 4^x+C
Step-by-step solution
Let I = 4^x 1-16^x dx . Rewrite the integral as I = 4^x 1-(4^x)^2 dx . Substitute u = 4^x . Then du = 4^x 4 dx , which implies 4^x dx = du 4 . Substituting these into the integral gives I = 1 1-u^2 du 4 . I = 1 4 du 1-u^2 . Using the standard integral du 1-u^2 = ⁻¹ u + C , we get I = 1 4 ⁻¹ u + C . Substituting back u = 4^x , we obtain I = 1 4 ⁻¹ 4^x + C . Answer: 1 4 ⁻¹ 4^x+C
