=12x2+x2+c, where c is a constant

Explanation :

=x2(x2+2)32dx

=x2x3(1+2x2)32dx

=1x(1+2x2)32dx

Using Integration by Substitution,

let's assume 2x2=t

then 4xdx=dt

=dt4(1+t)32

=14(1+t)32dt

=14(1+t)1212

=1211+t+c, where c is a constant

Substituting t back,

=1211+2x2+c, where c is a constant

=12x2+x2+c, where c is a constant
