Detail solution
  1. Integrate term-by-term:

    1. The integral of a constant is the constant times the variable of integration:

    1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:

      1. The integral of is when :

      So, the result is:

    The result is:

  2. Add the constant of integration:
