Question: Stan and Ollie work on the integral 2 x ( x 2 + 2 ) d x Stan lets u = x 2 + 2

Stan and Ollie work on the integral
2x(x2+2)dx
Stan lets u=x2+2 and proceeds to get
udu=u22+C=(x2+2)22+C
Ollie multiplies out the function under the integral and gets
(2x3+4x)dx=x42+2x2+C
How can they both be right?
Stan and Ollie work on the integral 2 x ( x 2 + 2
