Problems from Direct integrals for the polynomials

Compute the indefinite integral (or antiderivative function) of the function 12x4+3x2+5x+3, that is, compute (12x4+3x2+5x+3) dx

See development and solution

Development:

We will apply the following procedure:

  • Separate the integral into several integrals (one for every term) and extract the constants out of the integral. (12x4+3x2+5x+3) dx=12x4 dx+3x2 dx+5x dx+31 dx

  • Use the formula to obtain the result of the integral of every term and add the results. 12x4 dx+3x2 dx+5x dx+31 dx=12x55+3x33+5x22+3x

  • Add the integration constant to the result. (12x4+3x2+5x+3) dx=12x55+3x33+5x22+3x+C

Solution:

(12x4+3x2+5x+3) dx=12x55+3x33+5x22+3x+C
