Solved example of integral
Expand the integral $\int\left(3x^2+5x+2\right)dx$
The integral of a constant by a function is equal to the constant multiplied by the integral of the function
Apply the power rule for integration, $\displaystyle\int x^n dx=\frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}$, where $n$ represents a number or constant function, such as $2$
The integral $\int3x^2dx$ results in: $x^{3}$
The integral of a constant by a function is equal to the constant multiplied by the integral of the function
Applying the power rule for integration, $\displaystyle\int x^n dx=\frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}$, where $n$ represents a number or constant function, in this case $n=1$
The integral $\int5xdx$ results in: $\frac{5}{2}x^2$
