how can i continue with this?

#

idt there's an elementary antiderivative

#

you're gonna need to calculate it numerically

#

that's like saying sqrt(4 + 1) = 2 + 1

#

so I was able to solve for the (-2y^2)sqrt(y^3 + 1) part

#

but I honestly have no idea how to do just the 2sqrt(y^3 + 1) part

#

sqrt(y^2 + 1) is already a pretty complicated antiderivative

#

so y^3 is a bit above my current level of expertise

#

for the part I was able to solve though

#

use a u-sub of u^2 = y^3 + 1

#

Ok after trying an antiderivative calculator I believe there is no elementary solution

#

though that's just for the general antiderivative
