integral of 3x^2+2x
Let's compute the integral: ∫(3x2 + 2x)dx
ⅰ ∫(3x2 + 2x)dx = ∫3x2dx + ∫2xdx
∫3x2dx + ∫2xdx
ⓘ A constant factor stays in front of the integral. An antiderivative of x^n is x^(n+1)/(n+1), for n ≠ -1: ∫3x2dx = 3·x33, ∫2xdx = 2·x22
3·x33 + 2·x22
ⓘ Multiplying a fraction by a number multiplies its numerator: 3·x33 = 3x33, 2·x22 = 2x22■A fraction is simplified by dividing the numerator and the denominator by the same number: 3x33 = x3, 2x22 = x2
x3 + x2
▶Indefinite integrals are defined up to an additive constant C, so this yields: x3 + x2 + C
