Explanation
This is a straightforward integration problem using the property of linearity of integrals. Each term is integrated separately using standard formulas. The integral of xⁿ is xⁿ⁺¹/(n+1), the integral of cos x is sin x, and the integral of eˣ is eˣ itself. The constant of integration C is added at the end.
Solution Steps
Step 1: Apply the property of linearity: ∫(2x - 3cos x + eˣ)dx = ∫2x dx - ∫3cos x dx + ∫eˣ dx
Step 2: Integrate each term separately: ∫2x dx = 2 × x²/2 = x²
Step 3: ∫3cos x dx = 3sin x (since integral of cos x is sin x)
Step 4: ∫eˣ dx = eˣ (since integral of eˣ is eˣ)
Step 5: Combine all results: x² - 3sin x + eˣ + C
