Solution

Let’s evaluate each of these integrals step-by-step. I’ll go through each part, showing all necessary details.

Part (a): x(ln(x)+1)4dx\int x(\ln(x)+1)^4 \, dx

To evaluate this integral, let's use substitution. Let: u=ln(x)+1u = \ln(x) + 1 Then, we have: dudx=1xdx=xdu\frac{du}{dx} = \frac{1}{x} \Rightarrow dx = x \, du Substituting into the integral, we get: x(ln(x)+1)4dx=u4xdu=u4du\int x(\ln(x)+1)^4 \, dx = \int u^4 \cdot x \, du = \int u^4 \, du Now, we can integrate u4u^4: u4du=u55+C\int u^4 \, du = \frac{u^5}{5} + C Substituting back for u=ln(x)+1u = \ln(x) + 1, we get: x(ln(x)+1)4dx=(ln(x)+1)55+C\int x(\ln(x)+1)^4 \, dx = \frac{(\ln(x) + 1)^5}{5} + C

Part (b): sin(4t)dt\int \sin(4t) \, dt

To evaluate this integral, we can use the basic antiderivative rule for sine. The integral of sin(kt)\sin(kt) is 1kcos(kt)-\frac{1}{k} \cos(kt).

Therefore: sin(4t)dt=14cos(4t)+C\int \sin(4t) \, dt = -\frac{1}{4} \cos(4t) + C

Part (c): x+1+x2dx\int \sqrt{x + 1 + x^2} \, dx

This integral is a bit more complex, as it involves a square root of a non-standard form. One approach here might involve trigonometric substitution, but it’s generally more advanced and may involve recognizing specific patterns or using special functions.

However, without further context, it appears that this might be a standard integral from a table or could require completing the square in the expression inside the square root. For now, let’s assume it’s left for a different approach if tables or additional transformations aren’t specified here.
