indefinite integrals (3x+2)^2 dx

OpenStudy (mathmale):

How would you find the definite integral of x^2 with respect to x? Integrating (3x+2)^2 with respect to x involves just a little more work: substitution. Familiar with that? Substitution results in a simpler-looking integral that is indeed simpler to integrate. Try letting u = 3x+2. ("u" represents your substitution for 3x+2.) Find (du/dx) (write an actual equation, du/dx = ?) Solve the resulting equation for dx. In the original integral, substitute u for 3x+2, and substitute du/3 for dx. Integrate. Finally, re-substitute: replace u in the integral with 3x+2. That's it.
