With u=x+2u=x+2, the integrand becomes (u+1)u=u3/2+u1/2(u+1)\sqrt u = u^{3/2}+u^{1/2}, which integrates termwise to give the answer back in terms of xx.

Let u=x+2u = x+2, so x=u−2x = u-2 and dx=dudx=du. Then x+3=(u−2)+3=u+1x+3 = (u-2)+3 = u+1.

The integral becomes: ∫(u+1)u du=∫(u3/2+u1/2)du\displaystyle\int (u+1)\sqrt u\, du = \int\left(u^{3/2}+u^{1/2}\right)du.

Integrate termwise: ∫u3/2du=u5/25/2=25u5/2\displaystyle\int u^{3/2}du = \dfrac{u^{5/2}}{5/2} = \dfrac{2}{5}u^{5/2}, and ∫u1/2du=u3/23/2=23u3/2\displaystyle\int u^{1/2}du = \dfrac{u^{3/2}}{3/2} = \dfrac{2}{3}u^{3/2}.
