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
