Step-by-step Solution

Specify the solving method

1

Find the integral

$\int\left(x+1\right)\left(x-4\right)dx$
2

Rewrite the integrand $\left(x+1\right)\left(x-4\right)$ in expanded form

$\int\left(x^2-3x-4\right)dx$
3

Expand the integral $\int\left(x^2-3x-4\right)dx$ into $3$ integrals using the sum rule for integrals, to then solve each integral separately

$\int x^2dx+\int-3xdx+\int-4dx$
4

The integral $\int x^2dx$ results in: $\frac{x^{3}}{3}$

$\frac{x^{3}}{3}$
5

The integral $\int-3xdx$ results in: $-\frac{3}{2}x^2$

$-\frac{3}{2}x^2$
6

The integral $\int-4dx$ results in: $-4x$

$-4x$
7

Gather the results of all integrals

$\frac{x^{3}}{3}-\frac{3}{2}x^2-4x$
8

As the integral that we are solving is an indefinite integral, when we finish integrating we must add the constant of integration $C$

$\frac{x^{3}}{3}-\frac{3}{2}x^2-4x+C_0$

Final answer to the problem

$\frac{x^{3}}{3}-\frac{3}{2}x^2-4x+C_0$
