Question 1 Report

Find ∫(x2 + 3x − 5)dx
Answer Details
The integral of x^2 + 3x - 5 with respect to x is: ∫(x^2 + 3x - 5) dx To solve this, we can use the power rule of integration, which states that the integral of x^n with respect to x is (x^(n+1))/(n+1) + C, where C is the constant of integration. Using this rule, we can integrate each term of the polynomial separately: ∫(x^2 + 3x - 5) dx = ∫x^2 dx + ∫3x dx - ∫5 dx = (x^3/3) + (3x^2/2) - (5x) + C Therefore, the antiderivative or indefinite integral of x^2 + 3x - 5 with respect to x is: (x^3/3) + (3x^2/2) - (5x) + C, where C is the constant of integration.
