Write x+1=A(4x)+Bx+1=A(4x)+B where A=14A=\dfrac14, B=1B=1 (matching coefficients of x and the constant), so x+1=14⋅4x+1x+1=\dfrac14\cdot4x+1.

∫(x+1)2x2+3 dx=14∫4x2x2+3 dx+∫2x2+3 dx\int(x+1)\sqrt{2x^2+3}\,dx=\dfrac14\int4x\sqrt{2x^2+3}\,dx+\int\sqrt{2x^2+3}\,dx

First piece: let w=2x2+3w=2x^2+3, dw=4x dxdw=4x\,dx: 14∫w dw=14⋅23w3/2=16(2x2+3)3/2\dfrac14\int\sqrt w\,dw=\dfrac14\cdot\dfrac23w^{3/2}=\dfrac16(2x^2+3)^{3/2}.

Second piece: factor 2\sqrt2 and use the standard x2+a2\sqrt{x^2+a^2} result with a2=3/2a^2=3/2: …
