Let's solve the two problems shown in the image.

### 1. **Evaluate the following integrals:**

#### (i) \( \int \frac{dx}{4 + x^2} \)

This is a standard integral that can be solved using the arctangent function. The formula is:

\[
\int \frac{dx}{a^2 + x^2} = \frac{1}{a} \arctan\left(\frac{x}{a}\right) + C
\]

In this case, \( a^2 = 4 \), so \( a = 2 \). Applying the formula:

\[
\int \frac{dx}{4 + x^2} = \frac{1}{2} \arctan\left(\frac{x}{2}\right) + C
\]

#### (ii) \( \int \frac{(2x+3)\, dx}{x^2 + 5x + 7} \)

This integral involves a quadratic expression in the denominator, and we can try to solve it by completing the square for the quadratic:

\[
x^2 + 5x + 7 = \left(x + \frac{5}{2}\right)^2 + \frac{3}{4}
\]

However, another effective approach would be to split the numerator or use substitution. To simplify this integral, let's perform a substitution:

Let \( u = x^2 + 5x + 7 \), so that \( du = (2x + 5) dx \).

The integral can be rewritten as:

\[
\int \frac{(2x+3) dx}{u}
\]

Splitting the numerator:

\[
\int \frac{(2x+5) - 2}{u} \, dx = \int \frac{2x+5}{u} \, dx - 2 \int \frac{1}{u} \, dx
\]

The first integral is straightforward using the substitution \( u = x^2 + 5x + 7 \), and the second integral is a natural logarithm.

\[
\int \frac{1}{u} \, du = \ln|u| + C
\]

Thus, after solving, we can express the final solution in terms of \( u \) and substitute back \( x^2 + 5x + 7 \).

### 2. **Find the maximum and minimum values of \( x^3 - 18x^2 + 96x + 14 \)**

To find the maximum and minimum values, we first take the derivative and set it equal to zero to find the critical points.

\[
f(x) = x^3 - 18x^2 + 96x + 14
\]

Take the derivative:

\[
f'(x) = 3x^2 - 36x + 96
\]

Set \( f'(x) = 0 \) to find critical points:

\[
3x^2 - 36x + 96 = 0
\]

Simplify:

\[
x^2 - 12x + 32 = 0
\]

Solve this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula:

\[
x = \frac{-(-12) \pm \sqrt{(-12)^2 - 4(1)(32)}}{2(1)} = \frac{12 \pm \sqrt{144 - 128}}{2} = \frac{12 \pm \sqrt{16}}{2} = \frac{12 \pm 4}{2}
\]

Thus, the two solutions are:

\[
x = \frac{12 + 4}{2} = 8 \quad \text{and} \quad x = \frac{12 - 4}{2} = 4
\]

Now, we check the second derivative to determine whether these points are maxima or minima.

\[
f''(x) = 6x - 36
\]

At \( x = 8 \):

\[
f''(8) = 6(8) - 36 = 48 - 36 = 12 > 0
\]

Since \( f''(8) > 0 \), \( x = 8 \) is a local minimum.

At \( x = 4 \):

\[
f''(4) = 6(4) - 36 = 24 - 36 = -12 < 0
\]

Since \( f''(4) < 0 \), \( x = 4 \) is a local maximum.

Finally, we evaluate the function at \( x = 4 \) and \( x = 8 \) to find the actual maximum and minimum values:

\[
f(4) = 4^3 - 18(4)^2 + 96(4) + 14 = 64 - 288 + 384 + 14 = 174
\]

\[
f(8) = 8^3 - 18(8)^2 + 96(8) + 14 = 512 - 1152 + 768 + 14 = 142
\]

Thus, the maximum value is 174 at \( x = 4 \), and the minimum value is 142 at \( x = 8 \).
