Find the following indefinite integral.

Input the constant of integration as $C$.

", "advice": "

Let $u = \\simplify[std]{{a}*x+{d}}$. Then,
\\[\\simplify[std]{{b}/(({a}*x+{d})^{n})} = \\simplify[std]{{b}/(u^{n})}.\\]

\n

Now,
\\[\\int \\simplify[std]{{b}/({a}*x+{d})^{n}} dx = \\int \\simplify[std]{{b}/(u^{n})} \\frac{dx}{du} du.\\]

\n

Rearrange $u = \\simplify[std]{{a}x+{d}}$ to get $\\displaystyle x = \\simplify[std]{(u-{b})/{a}}$, and hence $\\displaystyle\\frac{dx}{du} = \\frac{1}{\\var{a}}$.

\n

$\\displaystyle \\int \\frac{1}{u^n} du = -\\frac{1}{(n-1)u^{n-1}} + C$ is a standard integral, so we can now calculate the desired integral:

\n

\\[\\int \\simplify[std]{{b}/(u^{n})} \\frac{dx}{du} du = \\simplify[std]{{b}/({n-1}*u^{n-1})} \\cdot \\frac{1}{\\var{a}} + C = \\simplify[std]{(-{b})/({a*(n-1)}*({a}*x+{d})^{n-1}) + C}.\\]
