Step 1.1.2.1

By the Sum Rule, the derivative of $1 + 7 x$ with respect to $x$ is $\frac{d}{d x} [1] + \frac{d}{d x} [7 x]$ .

$\frac{d}{d x} [1] + \frac{d}{d x} [7 x]$

Step 1.1.2.2

Since $1$ is constant with respect to $x$ , the derivative of $1$ with respect to $x$ is $0$ .

$0 + \frac{d}{d x} [7 x]$

Step 1.1.3.1

Since $7$ is constant with respect to $x$ , the derivative of $7 x$ with respect to $x$ is $7 \frac{d}{d x} [x]$ .

$0 + 7 \frac{d}{d x} [x]$

Step 1.1.3.2

Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [x^{n}]$ is $n x^{n - 1}$ where $n = 1$ .

$0 + 7 \cdot 1$

Step 1.1.3.3

Multiply $7$ by $1$ .

$0 + 7$

Step 1.1.4

Add $0$ and $7$ .

$7$

Step 1.2

Rewrite the problem using $u$ and $d u$ .

$\int \sqrt[3]{u} \frac{1}{7} d u$

Step 2

Combine $\sqrt[3]{u}$ and $\frac{1}{7}$ .

$\int \frac{\sqrt[3]{u}}{7} d u$

Step 3

Since $\frac{1}{7}$ is constant with respect to $u$ , move $\frac{1}{7}$ out of the integral.

$\frac{1}{7} \int \sqrt[3]{u} d u$

Step 4

Use $\sqrt[n]{a^{x}} = a^{\frac{x}{n}}$ to rewrite $\sqrt[3]{u}$ as $u^{\frac{1}{3}}$ .

$\frac{1}{7} \int u^{\frac{1}{3}} d u$

Step 5

By the Power Rule, the integral of $u^{\frac{1}{3}}$ with respect to $u$ is $\frac{3}{4} u^{\frac{4}{3}}$ .

$\frac{1}{7} (\frac{3}{4} u^{\frac{4}{3}} + C)$
