Answer

43x36x2+9x3cos(4x)2sin(3x)+C\frac{4}{3}x^3 - 6x^2 + 9x - 3\cos(4x) - 2\sin(3x) + C
Expanding (2x3)2(2x-3)^2 yields 4x212x+94x^2 - 12x + 9. Integrating term by term: 4x2dx=43x3\int 4x^2 dx = \frac{4}{3}x^3, 12xdx=6x2\int -12x dx = -6x^2, 9dx=9x\int 9 dx = 9x, 12sin(4x)dx=3cos(4x)\int 12\sin(4x) dx = -3\cos(4x), and 6cos(3x)dx=2sin(3x)\int -6\cos(3x) dx = -2\sin(3x). Summing these results and adding the constant of integration CC gives 43x36x2+9x3cos(4x)2sin(3x)+C\frac{4}{3}x^3 - 6x^2 + 9x - 3\cos(4x) - 2\sin(3x) + C.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Expand the squared binomial inside the integrand.
(2x3)2=4x212x+9(2x - 3)^2 = 4x^2 - 12x + 9
Expanding algebraic terms simplifies the integrand into basic power terms ready for integration.
2
Integrate the polynomial terms using the power rule xndx=xn+1n+1\int x^n dx = \frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}.
\int (4x^2 - 12x + 9) dx = \frac{4}{3}x^3 - 6x^2 + 9x
Applying the power rule to each term individually gives 4x3312x22+9x\frac{4x^3}{3} - \frac{12x^2}{2} + 9x.
3
Integrate the trigonometric terms using standard integration rules sin(kx)dx=1kcos(kx)\int \sin(kx) dx = -\frac{1}{k}\cos(kx) and cos(kx)dx=1ksin(kx)\int \cos(kx) dx = \frac{1}{k}\sin(kx).
\int 12\sin(4x) dx = -\frac{12}{4}\cos(4x) = -3\cos(4x) and \int -6\cos(3x) dx = -\frac{6}{3}\sin(3x) = -2\sin(3x)
Integrating sine gives negative cosine divided by the inner linear coefficient, and integrating cosine gives sine divided by the inner linear coefficient.
4
Combine all integrated terms and append the constant of integration CC.
\frac{4}{3}x^3 - 6x^2 + 9x - 3\cos(4x) - 2\sin(3x) + C
Indefinite integrals require the addition of an arbitrary constant of integration CC.
