Integral of (3x-2)^2 dx
The solution
Detail solution
-
There are multiple ways to do this integral.
Method #1
-
Let u=3x−2.
Then let du=3dx and substitute 3du:
∫3u2du
-
The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
∫u2du=3∫u2du
-
The integral of un is n+1un+1 when n=−1:
∫u2du=3u3
So, the result is: 9u3
Now substitute u back in:
9(3x−2)3
Method #2
-
Rewrite the integrand:
(3x−2)2=9x2−12x+4
-
Integrate term-by-term:
-
The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
∫9x2dx=9∫x2dx
-
The integral of xn is n+1xn+1 when n=−1:
∫x2dx=3x3
So, the result is: 3x3
-
The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
∫(−12x)dx=−12∫xdx
-
The integral of xn is n+1xn+1 when n=−1:
∫xdx=2x2
So, the result is: −6x2
-
The integral of a constant is the constant times the variable of integration:
∫4dx=4x
The result is: 3x3−6x2+4x
-
Now simplify:
9(3x−2)3
-
Add the constant of integration:
9(3x−2)3+constant
The answer is:
9(3x−2)3+constant
The answer (Indefinite)
