Question

Simplify ∫ 3x²e^(x³) dx
Options
A e^(x²) + C
B e^(x³) + C
Correct Answer
C e^(x⁴) + C
D e^(x⁵) + C
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

To evaluate the integral ∫ 3x²e^(x³) dx, we use a substitution (u-substitution).Let u = x³.Then, the differential du = (d/dx(x³)) dx = 3x² dx.Substitute u and du into the integral:∫ e^u duThe integral of e^u with respect to u is e^u.So, ∫ e^u du = e^u + C.Finally, substitute back u = x³:e^(x³) + C.Thus, option B is correct.

Hint

Look for a function and its derivative within the integrand for a u-substitution.
