Let's start , ( 3 x 4 ) 3 d x \Rightarrow \displaystyle \int \color{#3D99F6}{(3x-4)}^{3}dx

Let ( 3 x 4 ) = u \color{#3D99F6}{(3x-4)}=\color{#D61F06}{u}

So ,

( 3 x 4 ) 3 d x u 3 d x \displaystyle \int \color{#3D99F6}{(3x-4)}^{3}dx \Rightarrow \displaystyle \int \color{#D61F06}{u}^{3}dx

Now we can re-write it as ,

u 3 d x 1 3 u 3 d x × d u d x \displaystyle \int \color{#D61F06}{u}^{3}dx \Rightarrow \displaystyle \int \color{#BA33D6}{\frac{1}{3}} \color{#D61F06}{u}^{3}dx × \color{#BA33D6}{\frac{du}{dx}}

1 3 3 + 1 u 3 + 1 + C 1 12 u 4 + C \frac{\color{#BA33D6}{\frac{1}{3}}}{3+1}\color{#D61F06}{u}^{\color{#BA33D6}{3}+1}+C \Rightarrow \frac{1}{12}\color{#D61F06}{u}^{4}+C

Now replacing u \color{#D61F06}{u} with ( 3 x 4 ) \color{#3D99F6}{(3x-4)} ,

1 12 ( 3 x 4 ) 4 + C \frac{1}{12} \color{#3D99F6}{(3x-4)}^{4}+C

Therefore , a + b = 12 + 4 = 16 a+b = 12+4 =\huge \boxed{16} .
