integral of (x^2-3)(x+1)

\int (x^{2} - 3) (x + 1) d x

\frac{x ^{4}}{4} + \frac{x ^{3}}{3} - \frac{3 x ^{2}}{2} - 3 x + C

Solution steps

\int (x^{2} - 3) (x + 1) d x

Expand

(x^{2} - 3) (x + 1) : x^{3} + x^{2} - 3 x - 3

= \int x^{3} + x^{2} - 3 x - 3 d x

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= \int x^{3} d x + \int x^{2} d x - \int 3 x d x - \int 3 d x

\int x^{3} d x = \frac{x ^{4}}{4}

\int x^{2} d x = \frac{x ^{3}}{3}

\int 3 x d x = \frac{3 x ^{2}}{2}

\int 3 d x = 3 x

= \frac{x ^{4}}{4} + \frac{x ^{3}}{3} - \frac{3 x ^{2}}{2} - 3 x

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{x ^{4}}{4} + \frac{x ^{3}}{3} - \frac{3 x ^{2}}{2} - 3 x + C

\int \frac{x ^{2}}{4 + x ^{6}} d x

\int \frac{7 x ^{2} + 16}{x ^{4} + 4 x ^{2}} d x

\int \frac{1}{x ( ln ( x ) + 1 )} d x

\int \frac{1}{cos ( 2 x ) + sin ^{2} ( x )} d x

\int 9 sin^{5} (x) cos (x) d x
