Step 1.1.1

Differentiate $p + 7$ .

$\frac{d}{d p} [p + 7]$

Step 1.1.2

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

$\frac{d}{d p} [p] + \frac{d}{d p} [7]$

Step 1.1.3

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

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

Step 1.1.4

Since $7$ is constant with respect to $p$ , the derivative of $7$ with respect to $p$ is $0$ .

$1 + 0$

Step 1.1.5

Add $1$ and $0$ .

$1$

Step 1.2

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

Step 3.1.1

Raise $u$ to the power of $1$ .

$\int u^{1} u^{5} - 7 u^{5} d u$

Step 3.1.2

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$\int u^{1 + 5} - 7 u^{5} d u$

Step 3.2

Add $1$ and $5$ .

$\int u^{6} - 7 u^{5} d u$

Step 4

Split the single integral into multiple integrals.

$\int u^{6} d u + \int - 7 u^{5} d u$

Step 5

By the Power Rule, the integral of $u^{6}$ with respect to $u$ is $\frac{1}{7} u^{7}$ .

$\frac{1}{7} u^{7} + C + \int - 7 u^{5} d u$

Step 6

Since $- 7$ is constant with respect to $u$ , move $- 7$ out of the integral.

$\frac{1}{7} u^{7} + C - 7 \int u^{5} d u$

Step 7

By the Power Rule, the integral of $u^{5}$ with respect to $u$ is $\frac{1}{6} u^{6}$ .

$\frac{1}{7} u^{7} + C - 7 (\frac{1}{6} u^{6} + C)$
