Answer

$ - \frac{1}{4}{e^{ - {t^4}}} + C$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & \int {{t^3}{e^{ - {t^4}}}} dt \cr & {\text{Let }}u = - {t^4},{\text{ then }}du = - 4{t^3}dt,{\text{ }}{t^3}dt = - \frac{1}{4}du \cr & {\text{Applying the substitution}}{\text{, we obtain}} \cr & \int {{t^3}{e^{ - {t^4}}}} dt = \int {{e^{ - {t^4}}}} \overbrace {{t^3}dt}^{ - \frac{1}{4}du} = \int {{e^u}\left( { - \frac{1}{4}} \right)} du \cr & = - \frac{1}{4}\int {{e^u}} du \cr & {\text{Integrating}} \cr & = - \frac{1}{4}{e^u} + C \cr & {\text{Write in terms of }}t,{\text{ substitute }}u = - {t^4} \cr & = - \frac{1}{4}{e^{ - {t^4}}} + C \cr} $$
