Identify integral: Identify the integral to be solved.We need to evaluate the indefinite integral of the function (x−1)5+3(x−1)2+5 with respect to x.The integral is ∫[(x−1)5+3(x−1)2+5]dx.
Apply power rule: Apply the power rule for integration to each term separately.The power rule for integration states that ∫xndx=n+1x(n+1)+C, where C is the constant of integration.For the first term, (x−1)5, we apply the power rule to get 5+1(x−1)(5+1).For the second term, 3(x−1)2, we apply the power rule to get 3⋅2+1(x−1)(2+1).For the constant term, 5, we integrate to get 5x.
Perform integration: Perform the integration for each term.For the first term, 5+1(x−1)5+1=6(x−1)6.For the second term, 32+1(x−1)2+1=33(x−1)3=(x−1)3.For the constant term, 5x.
Combine results: Combine the results of the integration.The indefinite integral of the function is the sum of the integrals of each term.So, ∫[(x−1)5+3(x−1)2+5]dx=6(x−1)6+(x−1)3+5x+C, where C is the constant of integration.
