Perform a substitution and use the given integral to find that

#int_1^2t^3f(t^4)dt = 4#

Explanation:

We proceed using integration by substitution:

Let #u = t^4 => du = 4t^3dt#

Additionally, when #t = 1# we have #u = 1# and when #t = 2# we have #u = 2^4=16#. Thus, performing the substitution,

#int_1^2t^3f(t^4)dt = 1/4int_1^2f(t^4)4t^3dt#

#=1/4int_1^16f(u)du#

#=1/4(16)#

#=4#
