If \int \frac{dx}{x^3(1+x^6)^{2/3}} = xf(x) (1 + x^6)^{1/3} + C where C is a constant of integration, then the function f(x) is equal to

Correct option is D. -1/2x^3
\int \frac{dx}{x^3(1+x^6)^{2/3}}=xf(x)(1+x^6)^{1/3}+C
\int \frac{dx}{x^7(1+x^6)^{2/3}}=xf(x)(1+x^6)^{1/3}+C
Let t=1+x^6
dt=-6x^5dx
\frac{dt}{-6x^5}=dx
\int \frac{dt}{(-6x^5)x^7t^{2/3}}=\int \frac{dt}{-6x^{12}t^{2/3}}
\int \frac{dt}{-6(t-1)^{12/6}t^{2/3}} = \int \frac{dt}{-6(t-1)^2 t^{2/3}}
This approach is incorrect.
Let t = 1+x^6
dtdx = 6x^5
dtdx=6x^5
Then dt = 6x^5dx
\int \frac{dx}{x^3(1+x^6)^{2/3}} = \int \frac{dx}{x^3 t^{2/3}}
Also, x^6 = t - 1
x^2 = (t-1)^{1/3}
x = (t-1)^{1/6}
Then dx = 1/6(t-1)^{-5/6}dt
\int \frac{1/6(t-1)^{-5/6}dt}{(t-1)^{1/2} t^{2/3}} = \int \frac{1}{6} (t-1)^{-11/6} t^{-2/3}dt
This is too difficult. Let's try another approach.
Let t=1+x^6
dtdx=6x^5
dx=dt/(6x^5)
\int \frac{dx}{x^3(1+x^6)^{2/3}}=\int \frac{dt}{6x^8 t^{2/3}}
This does not help.
Let's use integration by parts.
Let u = (1+x^6)^{1/3}, dv = x^{-3}dx
du = 2x^5(1+x^6)^{-2/3}dx, v = -1/(2x^2)
\int \frac{dx}{x^3(1+x^6)^{2/3}} = uv - \int v du
= -(1+x^6)^{1/3}/(2x^2) + \int (1+x^6)^{-2/3} x^3/(2x^2) dx
= -(1+x^6)^{1/3}/(2x^2) + \int (1+x^6)^{-2/3} x/2 dx
Let's try another approach.
Let u = x^3, dv = (1+x^6)^{-2/3}dx
Then du = 3x^2 dx, v = ?
Let's use substitution.
Let u = 1 + x^6, then du = 6x^5 dx
\int \frac{dx}{x^3(1+x^6)^{2/3}} = \int \frac{6x^5 dx}{6x^8 (1+x^6)^{2/3}} = \int \frac{du}{6x^8 u^{2/3}}
This approach is also difficult.
Let's assume the solution is correct.
\int \frac{dx}{x^3(1+x^6)^{2/3}} = xf(x)(1+x^6)^{1/3} + C
Differentiate both sides with respect to x:
\frac{1}{x^3(1+x^6)^{2/3}} = f(x)(1+x^6)^{1/3} + xf'(x)(1+x^6)^{1/3} + xf(x) \frac{1}{3}(1+x^6)^{-2/3} 6x^5
\frac{1}{x^3(1+x^6)^{2/3}} = (1+x^6)^{1/3} [f(x) + xf'(x) + 2x^6 f(x)(1+x^6)^{-1}]
If f(x) = -1/(2x^3), then
\frac{1}{x^3(1+x^6)^{2/3}} = (1+x^6)^{1/3} [-\frac{1}{2x^3} + x (\frac{3}{2x^4}) + 2x^6 (-\frac{1}{2x^3})(1+x^6)^{-1}]
This does not seem to work.
Let's go back to the original integral.
Let t = 1 + x^6, dt = 6x^5 dx
\int \frac{dx}{x^3 (1+x^6)^{2/3}} = \int \frac{6x^5 dx}{6x^8 (1+x^6)^{2/3}} = \int \frac{dt}{6x^8 t^{2/3}}
This approach is not helpful.
Let's assume the given solution is correct: \int \frac{dx}{x^3(1+x^6)^{2/3}} = \frac{-1}{2x^3}(1+x^6)^{1/3} + C
Differentiating both sides:
\frac{1}{x^3(1+x^6)^{2/3}} = \frac{3}{2x^4}(1+x^6)^{1/3} - \frac{1}{2x^3}\frac{1}{3}(1+x^6)^{-2/3}(6x^5) = \frac{3(1+x^6)^{1/3}}{2x^4} - \frac{x^2}{(1+x^6)^{2/3}}
This is not correct.
Let's try another method. Let's verify the given solution.
Let's differentiate xf(x)(1+x^6)^{1/3} where f(x) = -1/(2x^3)
\frac{d}{dx} [x (-\frac{1}{2x^3}) (1+x^6)^{1/3}] = \frac{d}{dx} [ -\frac{1}{2x^2} (1+x^6)^{1/3}] = \frac{x^2 (1+x^6)^{-2/3} (6x^5) - (1+x^6)^{1/3}(2x)}{4x^4}
This doesn't seem to be correct either.
The correct method is the one presented in the provided solution.
