By linearity, integrate each term separately using standard formulas 1–4:

Term 1: ∫x3 dx=x44\displaystyle\int x^{3}\,dx = \frac{x^{4}}{4} (formula 1, n=3n=3).

Term 2: ∫3x dx=3log⁡∣x∣\displaystyle\int \frac{3}{x}\,dx = 3\log\lvert x\rvert (formula 2).

Term 3: ∫2ex dx=2ex\displaystyle\int 2e^{x}\,dx = 2e^{x} (formula 3).

Term 4: ∫5x dx=5xlog⁡5\displaystyle\int 5^{x}\,dx = \frac{5^{x}}{\log 5} (formula 4, a=5a=5).

Combining, with a single constant of integration for the whole expression:

∫(x3+3x+2ex+5x)dx=x44+3log⁡∣x∣+2ex+5xlog⁡5+c.\int \left(x^{3}+\frac{3}{x}+2e^{x}+5^{x}\right)dx = \frac{x^{4}}{4}+3\log\lvert x\rvert+2e^{x}+\frac{5^{x}}{\log 5}+c.

Check by differentiation: ddx[x44+3log⁡∣x∣+2ex+5xlog⁡5]=x3+3x+2ex+5xlog⁡5log⁡5=x3+3x+2ex+5x\dfrac{d}{dx}\left[\dfrac{x^{4}}{4}+3\log\lvert x\rvert+2e^{x}+\dfrac{5^{x}}{\log 5}\right] = x^{3}+\dfrac{3}{x}+2e^{x}+\dfrac{5^{x}\log 5}{\log 5} = x^{3}+\dfrac{3}{x}+2e^{x}+5^{x}, matching the original integrand.

✓Final answer

∫(x3+3x+2ex+5x)dx=x44+3log⁡∣x∣+2ex+5xlog⁡5+c\displaystyle\int\left(x^{3}+\frac{3}{x}+2e^{x}+5^{x}\right)dx=\frac{x^{4}}{4}+3\log\lvert x\rvert+2e^{x}+\frac{5^{x}}{\log 5}+c
