Integrate 3x^4-4x^2+3/x

Firstly, integrate each term individually, starting off with the 3x^4. In order to integrate the index on the x term needs to be raised by 1, and the coefficient of the x should be divided by this new value. In this case; 4+1=5, which is the new index. 3/5 is the new coefficient. Therefore this term equals to 3/5x^5. Doing the same with the next 2 terms and integrating 3/x to 3ln(x) using the integral rule, you will end with the result of 3/5x^5-4/3x^3+3ln(x)+C. Ensure that the "+C" is always included as it contributes towards the marks.
