Question: Find the indefinite integral. ( x 3 + x + 1 + x 1 + x 2 ) dx Step 1 As the integral( x

Find the indefinite integral.

(x3+x+ 1 +x1+x2)dx

Step 1

As the integral(x3+x+ 1 +x1+x2)dx

has a sum as the integrand, we use the Sum Rule for Integration,

(f(x) +g(x))dx=f(x)dx+g(x)dx,

which says that we can break up integrals at sums and differences.

Our integral is thus

(x3+x+ 1 +x1+x2)dx=x3dx+xdx+1dx+x1dx+x-2

-2dx.

Step 2

Now, we use the Power Rule for Integration from the text,xadx=1

a+ 1

xa+ 1+C,

on the first, second, and last integrals.

x3dx+xdx+1dx+x1dx+x2dx

=1

+1

+1dx+x1dx+
