General antiderivative of an exponential plus power function
Let . Find the general antiderivative of .
Hint
Antidifferentiate each term separately. Recall that for a constant base , , and use the reverse power rule for . Don't forget the arbitrary constant.
Step-by-step solution
Split the integral using linearity: . Each term can be antidifferentiated separately using known rules.
For the exponential term, recall , so . For the power term, reverse the power rule: . Combining these and adding a single arbitrary constant gives .
