Hint
Divide by the inner derivative and the increased power. Divide by a(n+1).
Worked solution
(a)
Differentiate \(\displaystyle \frac{\left(3 x + 4\right)^{5}}{3}\) to recover the integrand. Include an arbitrary constant on each interval of the domain.
Answer: \(\displaystyle \frac{\left(3 x + 4\right)^{5}}{3} + C\)
(b)
Use upper primitive value minus lower primitive value: \(\displaystyle \frac{100000}{3}\) − (\(\displaystyle \frac{1024}{3}\)) = \(32992\).
Answer: \(32992\)
(c)
Subtract the primitive value at the initial abscissa, so the stated initial condition is satisfied.
Answer: \(\displaystyle G(x)=\frac{\left(3 x + 4\right)^{5}}{3} - \frac{1024}{3}\)

(a) · 2 marks
- 1 mark: Choose and correctly apply a valid integration method, including inner scaling.
- 1 mark: Give a complete equivalent primitive with an arbitrary constant.
Alternative methods: Any complete mathematically valid alternative method with the same restrictions and equivalent exact result is acceptable.
Common error: The integration constant need not be zero.
