Recognize the integral: Recognize the integral to be solved.We need to find the integral of the function 2x+4 with respect to x. This is a basic indefinite integral involving a linear function.
Apply power rule: Apply the power rule for integration to the term 2x. The power rule for integration states that the integral of xn with respect to x is (x(n+1))/(n+1)+C, where C is the constant of integration. For the term 2x, which is x to the power of 1, we apply the power rule.
Calculate integral of 2x: Calculate the integral of 2x. The integral of 2x with respect to x is 2×(x1+1)/(1+1)=2×(x2)/2=x2.
Integrate constant term: Integrate the constant term 4. The integral of a constant a with respect to x is a∗x+C. Therefore, the integral of 4 with respect to x is 4x.
Combine results: Combine the results of Step 3 and Step 4.The integral of 2x+4 with respect to x is the sum of the integrals of 2x and 4, which is x2+4x+C, where C is the constant of integration.
