Calculating the integral of a function of the form $a_1x^{b_1}+a_2x^{b_2}+a_3x^{b_3}$ using a table of integrals.

From the Table of Integrals we see that a function of the form \\[ f(x)=x^n \\] has the integral \\[ \\int x^n dx  =  \\frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}+ c,\\]

\n

and \\[\\int kf(x) dx = k \\int f(x) dx.\\]

\n

Additionally, the integral of the sum or difference of two or more functions is equal to the sum or difference of the integrals of each function: \\[ \\int(f(x)\\pm g(x))\\, dx = \\int f(x)\\, dx  \\pm \\int g(x) \\, dx.\\]

\n

So, for the function

\n

\\[f(x)=\\simplify[unitFactor,unitPower]{{a_1}*x^{b_1}+{a_2}*x^{b_2}+{a_3}*x^{b_3}+{a_4}},\\]

\n

the integral  is

\n

\\[ \\begin{split}\\simplify[unitFactor,unitPower]{int({a_1}*x^{b_1}+{a_2}*x^{b_2}+{a_3}*x^{b_3}+{a_4},x)} &\\,= \\simplify{{a_1}int(x^{b_1},x)+{a_2}int(x^{b_2},x)+{a_3}int(x^{b_3},x)+int({a_4},x)} \\\\&\\,= \\simplify[all,fractionNumbers]{({a_1}*x^{b_1+1})/{b_1+1}+({a_2}*x^{b_2+1})/{b_2+1}+({a_3}*x^{b_3+1})/{b_3+1}+{a_4}x}+c.\\end{split} \\]

Note: You only need to put one $c$ term here, you do not need to put a separate constant term for each calculation.
