Solved it the same way (with x^3 = sec(u)), "Cool Man"!
F ( x ) = ∫ x 6 x 6 − 1 x 5 d x
Now, let u = x 6 → d u = 6 x 5 . We have ∫ x 6 x 6 − 1 x 5 d x = 6 1 ∫ u u − 1 d u
Letting z = u − 1 → u = z 2 + 1 → d u = 2 z d z
∫ x 6 x 6 − 1 x 5 d x = = = = = 6 1 ∫ u u − 1 d u 6 1 ∫ ( z 2 + 1 ) z 2 z d z 3 1 ∫ z 2 + 1 d z 3 1 tan − 1 z + C 3 1 tan − 1 x 6 − 1 + C
Now, F ( 1 ) = 0 gives C = 0 meaning F ( x ) = 3 1 tan − 1 x 6 − 1 .
If we troubleshoot the problem, I think it should've been asked "Determine the value of ∣ n 3 ∣ for which F ( n ) = 9 π ". If that was the problem, then
3 1 tan − 1 n 6 − 1 n 6 − 1 ∣ n 3 ∣ = = = 9 π 3 2

3 F ( x ) = ∫ t x 3 x 6 − 1 3 x 2 d x = = = = ∫ sec y t t 2 − 1 d t ∫ sec y sec 2 y − 1 sec y tan y d y y + C sec − 1 x 3 + C
⟹ F ( x ) = 3 sec − 1 x 3 , F ( 1 ) = 0
F ( n ) = 3 sec − 1 n 3 = 9 π ⟹ n 3 = sec 3 π = 2
