`int (5+4x^2)^2 dx` Find the indefinite integral

`int (5+4x^2)^2dx`


To solve, expand `(5+4x^2)^2` .


`= int [(5+4x^2)(5+4x^2)]dx`


`= int (25+20x^2+20x^2+16x^4)dx`


`= int (25+40x^2+16x^4)dx`


To evaluate this integral, use the formulas:


  • `int adx = ax + C` 

  • `int x^n dx = x^(n+1)/(n+1) + C`

Applying the formulas, it results to


`= 25x + (40x^3)/3 + (16x^5)/5 + C`



Therefore, `int (5+4x^2)^2dx =25x + (40x^3)/3 + (16x^5)/5 + C` .
