Integral of (x-3)(x+5)dx
In this article, we will discuss the integral of the algebraic expression (x-3)(x+5)dx
.
Expanding the Expression
Before we integrate, let's expand the given expression using the distributive property:
(x-3)(x+5) = x^2 + 2x - 15
Now, we can rewrite the integral as:
∫(x^2 + 2x - 15)dx
Integrating the Expression
To integrate the expression, we will integrate each term separately:
∫x^2 dx = (1/3)x^3 + C
∫2x dx = x^2 + C
∫-15 dx = -15x + C
Now, we can combine the results:
∫(x^2 + 2x - 15)dx = (1/3)x^3 + x^2 - 15x + C
Final Answer
The integral of (x-3)(x+5)dx
is:
(1/3)x^3 + x^2 - 15x + C
where C
is the constant of integration.
Note: The constant of integration C
can take on any value, and it is determined by the specific problem or application.
