Solve the integral ∫(e^x + 1)^3 · e^x dx

Solution

Let us solve the sixth integral:

(ex+1)3exdx\int (e^x + 1)^3 \cdot e^x \, dx

Step 1: Substitution

Let: u=ex+1    du=exdxu = e^x + 1 \implies du = e^x \, dx

This transforms the integral into: u3du\int u^3 \, du

Step 2: Evaluate the new integral

The integral of u3u^3 is: u3du=u44+C\int u^3 \, du = \frac{u^4}{4} + C

Step 3: Back-substitute uu

Substitute back u=ex+1u = e^x + 1 to get: (ex+1)44+C\frac{(e^x + 1)^4}{4} + C

Final Answer:

(ex+1)3exdx=(ex+1)44+C\int (e^x + 1)^3 \cdot e^x \, dx = \frac{(e^x + 1)^4}{4} + C
