Question

Simplify ∫ 3x2ex3dx.
Options
A e<sup>x<sup>2</sup></sup> + C
B e<sup>x<sup>3</sup></sup> + C
Correct Answer
C e<sup>x<sup>4</sup></sup> + C
D e<sup>x<sup>5</sup></sup> + C
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

To simplify the integral ∫ 3x2ex3dx, use u-substitution.Let u = x3.Then, differentiate u with respect to x: du/dx = 3x2, which means du = 3x2 dx.Substitute u and du into the integral:∫ eu duThe integral of eu with respect to u is eu.∫ eu du = eu + CFinally, substitute back u = x3:ex3 + C.

Hint

Look for a substitution where the derivative of your 'u' matches the remaining part of the integrand.
