This problem is best solved by using substitution.
Note that if we let $u=\\simplify[std]{{a[0]} * (x ^ 2) + {b[0]}}$ then $du=\\simplify[std]{(2*{a[0]} * x)*dx }$
Hence we can replace $xdx$ by $\\frac{1}{2*\\var{a[0]}}du$.
Hence the integral becomes:
\n\\[\\begin{eqnarray*} I&=&\\simplify[std]{Int((1/(2{a[0]}))u^{m[0]},u)}\\\\ &=&\\simplify[all]{(1/(2{a[0]}))u^{m[0]+1}/{m[0]+1}+C}\\\\ &=& \\simplify{({a[0]} * (x ^ 2) + {b[0]})^{m[0]+1}/(2{a[0]}*({m[0]}+1))+C} \\end{eqnarray*}\\]
\nIf there are limits, we substitute in the upper limit for $x$ and then subtract the result of substituting in the lower limit for $x$.
\nThis cancels the constant of integration and leaves us with a definite number.
\nA Useful Result
This example can be generalised.
Suppose \\[I = \\int\\; f'(x)g(f(x))\\;dx\\]
The using the substitution $u=f(x)$ we find that $du=f'(x)\\;dx$ and so using the same method as above:
\\[I = \\int g(u)\\;du \\]
And if we can find this simpler integral in terms of $u$ we can replace $u$ by $f(x)$ and get the result in terms of $x$.
$I=\\int_{1}^{2}\\simplify[std]{x*({a[0]}x^2+{b[0]})^{m[0]} dx}$
\n\nUse $u=\\simplify[std]{{a[0]}x^2+{b[0]}}$ as your substitution.
\n\nFirst we integrate without the limits.
\n$\\frac{du}{dx}=$ [[1]]
\n$dx=$ [[2]]
\nSubstituting back into the original equation for $dx$ and pulling out constants gives
\n$I=$[[3]]$\\int{\\simplify[std]{u^{m[0]} du}}$
\nThe next step is to integrate.
\n$\\int{\\simplify{u^{m[0]} du}}=$ [[4]]
\nPutting all of these together, we get the result in terms of $x$ (remembering the constant of integration):
\n[[0]]
\nNow put the limits into the calculation for $x$. You may neglect $C$ in these boxes, as it will be cancelled in the subtraction.
\n$[$[[5]]$]-[$[[6]]$]$
\n$=$ [[7]]
