Answer

$\displaystyle \frac{(4x^{2}+1)|4x^{2}+1|}{16}+C$

Work Step by Step

$I=\displaystyle \int x|4x^{2}-1|dx$ See table Shortcuts: Integrals of Expressions Involving $(ax+b)$ Target: $\displaystyle \quad\int|ax+b|dx =\displaystyle \frac{1}{2a}(ax+b)|ax+b|+C$ Substitute $\left[\begin{array}{lll} u=x^{2} & & \\ du=2xdx, & \Rightarrow & xdx=\frac{du}{2} \end{array}\right]$ $I=\displaystyle \int|4u+1|\frac{du}{2}=\frac{1}{2}\int|4u+1|du$ we have the target integral,$\quad a=4, b=1$ $=\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{2(4)}(4u+1)|4u+1|+C$ bring back the variable $x$ = $\displaystyle \frac{(4x^{2}+1)|4x^{2}+1|}{16}+C$
