Expand binomial: Expand the integrand (3x2+2)2. To integrate the function, we first need to expand the square of the binomial to simplify the integrand. (3x2+2)2=(3x2+2)(3x2+2)=9x4+12x2+4
Set up integral: Set up the integral with the expanded integrand.Now that we have expanded the integrand, we can write the integral as:∫(9x4+12x2+4)dx
Integrate each term: Integrate each term separately.We will integrate each term of the polynomial separately using the power rule for integration, which states that ∫xndx=n+1x(n+1)+C, where C is the constant of integration.∫9x4dx=59x5∫12x2dx=312x3=4x3∫4dx=4x
Combine integration results: Combine the results of the integrations.Now we combine the results of the individual integrations to get the final result of the original integral.∫(9x4+12x2+4)dx=59x5+4x3+4x+C
