Find $$$\int \frac{1}{5 y^{4}}\, dy$$$.
Solution
Apply the constant multiple rule $$$\int c f{\left(y \right)}\, dy = c \int f{\left(y \right)}\, dy$$$ with $$$c=\frac{1}{5}$$$ and $$$f{\left(y \right)} = \frac{1}{y^{4}}$$$:
$${\color{red}{\int{\frac{1}{5 y^{4}} d y}}} = {\color{red}{\left(\frac{\int{\frac{1}{y^{4}} d y}}{5}\right)}}$$
Apply the power rule $$$\int y^{n}\, dy = \frac{y^{n + 1}}{n + 1}$$$ $$$\left(n \neq -1 \right)$$$ with $$$n=-4$$$:
$$\frac{{\color{red}{\int{\frac{1}{y^{4}} d y}}}}{5}=\frac{{\color{red}{\int{y^{-4} d y}}}}{5}=\frac{{\color{red}{\frac{y^{-4 + 1}}{-4 + 1}}}}{5}=\frac{{\color{red}{\left(- \frac{y^{-3}}{3}\right)}}}{5}=\frac{{\color{red}{\left(- \frac{1}{3 y^{3}}\right)}}}{5}$$
Therefore,
$$\int{\frac{1}{5 y^{4}} d y} = - \frac{1}{15 y^{3}}$$
Add the constant of integration:
$$\int{\frac{1}{5 y^{4}} d y} = - \frac{1}{15 y^{3}}+C$$
Answer
$$$\int \frac{1}{5 y^{4}}\, dy = - \frac{1}{15 y^{3}} + C$$$A
