Now, we will see how to use the above formulas to find the integrals.
Example 1
Find the integral of the following function:
Solution
Since the above function contains power or exponent, hence we will use the following formula to compute the integral:
, where
In this question, n = 6. Now, we will put this value in the above formula:
Simplifying the above equation will give us the following answer:
Example 2
Find the integral of the following function:
Solution
Since the above function contains variables with exponents and constant both, hence we will use the following formulas to compute the integral:
For exponent: , where
For constant:
But before applying these formulas, we will rewrite the question using integration sum rule like this:
We will separately integrate the three terms like this:
Now, we will combine these answers again to write the integral of the entire function:
Example 3
Find the integral of the following function:

Using the integration sum rule, we can rewrite the above function like this:
We will treat both the terms as separate functions for now. We know that and .
Combining the integrals of both the terms will give us the following answer:
Example 4
Find the integral of the following function:
Solution
First, we will convert this radical function into exponential form like this:
Now, we will use substitution method to solve the problem. Suppose (x - 1) = u. This means that and du= dx. Substituting these values in the above equation will give us the following expression:
Now, we will use the formula , where to find the integral:
In the end, we will substitute u = x - 1, again in the above expression to get the final answer:

First, we will rewrite the above example by using sum rule of integration like this:
It means that we will integrate the three terms separately. Let us first integrate the first term. To do so, we will convert this radical function into exponential form like this:
Now, we will use substitution method to find the integral of this term. Suppose 2x = u. This means that and . We can easily find the value of dx which is equal to . Substituting these values in the above equation will give us the following expression:
Move the fraction before the integral sign like this:
Now, we will use the formula , where to find the integral:
In the end, we will substitute u = 2x again in the above expression to get the final integral of this term:
Now, we will integrate the remaining two terms. We will use the formula , where again to find the integral of the second term .
The third term is a constant, so we will use the formula to integrate it.
In the end, we will combine the integrals of all the three terms to write the final answer as shown below:

Solution
In this problem, we will use the substitution method to find the integral. Suppose 5x - 2 = u. If u = 5x - 2, then . From this, we can calculate du and dx.
Now, we will substitute these values in the above function like this:
Move the fraction before the integral sign like this:
Now, we will use the formula . Substituting these values in the above function will give us the final answer:
Substitute u = 5x - 2 again in the above expression to get the following answer:
