Solution

The integral you have presented appears to be:
14(2+x2)xdx\int_1^4 (2 + x^2) x \, dx

Step-by-step Solution:

  1. Expand the integrand (2+x2)x(2 + x^2)x:
    (2+x2)x=2x+x3(2 + x^2)x = 2x + x^3

    So the integral becomes:
    14(2x+x3)dx\int_1^4 (2x + x^3) \, dx

  2. Separate the integral:
    14(2x+x3)dx=142xdx+14x3dx\int_1^4 (2x + x^3) \, dx = \int_1^4 2x \, dx + \int_1^4 x^3 \, dx

  3. Compute each term:

    • For 142xdx\int_1^4 2x \, dx:
      2xdx=x2\int 2x \, dx = x^2 Evaluate x2x^2 from 1 to 4:
      [x2]14=4212=161=15[x^2]_1^4 = 4^2 - 1^2 = 16 - 1 = 15

    • For 14x3dx\int_1^4 x^3 \, dx:
      x3dx=x44\int x^3 \, dx = \frac{x^4}{4} Evaluate x44\frac{x^4}{4} from 1 to 4:
      [x44]14=444144=256414=640.25=63.75\left[\frac{x^4}{4}\right]_1^4 = \frac{4^4}{4} - \frac{1^4}{4} = \frac{256}{4} - \frac{1}{4} = 64 - 0.25 = 63.75

  4. Add the results:
    15+63.75=78.7515 + 63.75 = 78.75

Final Answer:

14(2+x2)xdx=78.75\int_1^4 (2 + x^2)x \, dx = 78.75
