Answer

$136$

Work Step by Step

Let $u=x+2$. So the limits of integration of the definite integral with respect to $u$ are: $$x=1 \to u=1+2=3$$ $$x=3 \to u=3+2=5$$ $$du=(x+2)'dx=((x)'+(2)')dx=(1+0)dx=dx$$ So the given integral becomes: $$\int_{3}^{5}u^{3}du$$ Using the $FTC I$ it follows: $$\int_{3}^{5}u^{3}du=[\frac{u^{4}}{4}]_{3}^{5}=\frac{5^{4}}{4}-\frac{3^{4}}{4}=136$$
