The answer is #=1/128(2x+3)^4-9/32(2x+3)^2+81/32ln(|2x+3|)+C#

Explanation:

Perform this integral by substitution

Let #u=2x+3#, #=>#, #du=2dx#

#x=(u-3)/2#

#x^2=(u-3)^2/4#

#x^2+3x=(u-3)^2/4+3*(u-3)/2=(u-3)/4(u-3+6)=(u-3)(u+3)/4#

Therefore,

#int((x^2+3x)^2dx)/(2x+3)=1/32int((u-3)^2(u+3)^2du)/u#

#=1/32int((u^2-9)^2du)/u#

#=1/32int((u^4-18u^2+81)du)/u#

#=1/32int(u^3-18u+81/u)du#

#=1/128*u^4-9/32u^2+81/32lnu#

#=1/128(2x+3)^4-9/32(2x+3)^2+81/32ln(|2x+3|)+C#

# 1/128[(2x+3)^4-36(2x+3)^2+324ln|(2x+3)|]+C, or, #

# 1/128{(2x+3)^2(2x+9)(2x-3)+324ln|(2x+3)|}+C#.

Explanation:

Suppose that, #I=int(x^2+3x)^2/(2x+3)dx#.

Subst. #2x+3=y rArr x=(y-3)/2, and, :., dx=1/2dy#.

Further, #(x^2+3x)^2/(2x+3)=1/(2x+3)*{x(x+3)}^2#,

#=1/y*{((y-3)/2)((y-3)/2+3)}^2#,

#=1/y{((y-3)/2)((y+3)/2)}^2#,

#=1/y*{(y^2-9)/4}^2#,

#=1/y((y^4-18y^2+81)/16)#,

#=1/16(y^4/y-18y^2/y+81/y)#.

# :. I=1/16int(y^3-18y+81/y)*1/2dy#,

#=1/32(y^4/4-18*y^2/2+81ln|y|)#,

#=1/32(y^4/4-9y^2+81ln|y|)#.

# rArr I=1/128[(2x+3)^4-36(2x+3)^2+324ln|(2x+3)|]+C#

or,

#I=1/128{(2x+3)^2(2x+9)(2x-3)+324ln|(2x+3)|}+C#.

# 1/8x^4+3/4x^3+9/16x^2-27/16x+81/32ln|(2x+3)|+C#.

Explanation:

Have a look at this Second Method :

By Long Division, we get,

#(x^2+3x)^2/(2x+3)#,

#=1/2x^3+9/4x^2+9/8x-27/16+81/(16(2x+3))#.

#:. int(x^2+3x)^2/(2x+3)dx#,

#=1/2*x^4/4+9/4*x^3/3+9/8*x^2/2-27/16*x#

#+81/16*1/2ln|(2x+3)|#,

#=1/8x^4+3/4x^3+9/16x^2-27/16x+81/32ln|(2x+3)|+C#.

#I=x^4/8+(3x^3)/4+(9x^2)/16-(27x)/16+81/32ln|2x+3|+c#

Explanation:

Here,

#I=int(x^2+3x)^2/(2x+3)dx#

#=int(x^4+6x^3+9x^2)/(2x+3)dx#

We have ,

Dividend #= x^4+6x^3+9x^2 and# Divisor #=2x+3#

#"Using the method of " color(blue)"Long Division of Polynomial"#

we get , Quotient #=(x^3)/2+(9x^2)/4+(9x)/8-27/16#

#and # Remainder #=81/16#

So,

#I=int((x^3)/2+(9x^2)/4+(9x)/8-27/16+(81/16)/(2x+3))dx#

#=x^4/8+9/4*x^3/3+(9x^2)/16-(27x)/16+81/16*1/2ln|2x+3|+c#

#I=x^4/8+(3x^3)/4+(9x^2)/16-(27x)/16+81/32ln|2x+3|+c#
