Question 50
a.

Using the substitution u=3x+1u = \sqrt{3x+1}u=3x+1​, show that

∫1512x+4e3x+1 dx \int_{1}^{5} \sqrt{12x+4} e^{\sqrt{3x+1}} \, dx ∫15​12x+4​e3x+1​dx

may be expressed in the form

∫abku2eu du \int_{a}^{b} k u^2 e^u \, du ∫ab​ku2eudu

where aaa, bbb and kkk are constants to be found.

b.

Hence find, by algebraic integration, the exact value of

∫1512x+4e3x+1 dx \int_{1}^{5} \sqrt{12x+4} e^{\sqrt{3x+1}} \, dx ∫15​12x+4​e3x+1​dx

giving your answer in simplest form.
