Explanation:

the Integrand is given by
x^2(x^6+16x^3+64)=x^8+16x^5+64x^2
and a primitive is x^9/9+16/6x^6+64/3x^3

41472.

Explanation:

Suppose that, I=int_-2^4x^2(x^3+8)^2dx.

Let, (x^3+8)=t. :. 3x^2dx=dt, or, x^2dx=1/3dt.

Also, when x=-2, t=x^3+8=(-2)^3+8=0 and,

similarly when, x=4, t=72.

:. I=int_-2^4(x^3+8)^2x^2dx,

=int_0^72t^2*1/3dt,

=1/3[1/3t^3]_0^72,

=1/9[72^3-0],

=1/9*72*72^2,

=8xx5184.

rArr I=41472.
