Understand the Problem

The question is asking to solve the integral of the expression (1 + 3x)x² with respect to x. This involves applying integration techniques.

Answer for screen readers

The final answer is: $$ \frac{x^3}{3} + \frac{3x^4}{4} + C $$

Steps to Solve

  1. Expand the expression
    First, expand the integrand, $(1 + 3x)x^2$: $$ (1 + 3x)x^2 = x^2 + 3x^3 $$

  2. Set up the integral
    Now rewrite the integral with the expanded expression: $$ \int (x^2 + 3x^3) , dx $$

  3. Integrate term by term
    Now, integrate each term separately:

  • The integral of $x^2$ is: $$ \int x^2 , dx = \frac{x^{3}}{3} $$
  • The integral of $3x^3$ is: $$ \int 3x^3 , dx = \frac{3x^{4}}{4} $$
  1. Combine the results
    Now, combine the results of the integrals: $$ \int (1 + 3x)x^2 , dx = \frac{x^3}{3} + \frac{3x^4}{4} + C $$

  2. Write the final answer
    Include the constant of integration $C$: $$ \frac{x^3}{3} + \frac{3x^4}{4} + C $$

The final answer is: $$ \frac{x^3}{3} + \frac{3x^4}{4} + C $$

More Information

This integral involves basic polynomial functions, and integrating each term separately is a common technique in calculus. The constant of integration, ( C ), represents any constant value since indefinite integrals can vary by a constant.

Tips

  • Forgetting to include the constant of integration ( C ) when computing indefinite integrals.
  • Not expanding the integrand correctly before integrating.
