integral of (a+bx)^k

\int (a + b x)^{k} d x

\frac{( a + b x ) ^{k + 1}}{b ( k + 1 )} + C

Solution steps

\int (a + b x)^{k} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{u ^{k}}{b} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= \frac{1}{b} \cdot \int u^{k} d u

Apply the Power Rule

= \frac{1}{b} \cdot \frac{u ^{k + 1}}{k + 1}

Substitute back

u = a + b x

= \frac{1}{b} \cdot \frac{( a + b x ) ^{k + 1}}{k + 1}

Simplify

\frac{1}{b} \cdot \frac{( a + b x ) ^{k + 1}}{k + 1} : \frac{( a + b x ) ^{k + 1}}{b ( k + 1 )}

= \frac{( a + b x ) ^{k + 1}}{b ( k + 1 )}

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{( a + b x ) ^{k + 1}}{b ( k + 1 )} + C
