- C2(1+x)^ 3 2 +C
- D1+x +C
Correct answer
B. 2 3 (1+x)^ 3 2 +C
Step-by-step solution
Let I = 1+x+ x+x^2 x + 1+x dx . Observe that the numerator can be written as 1+x+ x 1+x = 1+x ( 1+x + x ) . Substituting this into the integral, we get I = 1+x ( 1+x + x ) x + 1+x dx . Canceling the common term ( x + 1+x ) , the integral simplifies to I = 1+x dx . Using the power rule for integration, (1+x)^ 1/2 dx = (1+x)^ 3/2 3/2 + C . Therefore, I = 2 3 (1+x)^ 3/2 + C . Answer: 2 3 (1+x)^ 3 2 +C
