Step 1: Recognize that the integral ∫(s^2 + 4)e^(3s)ds involves a product of two functions: a polynomial (s^2 + 4) and an exponential function (e^(3s)). This suggests using integration by parts, which is based on the formula ∫u dv = uv - ∫v du.
Step 2: Choose u and dv wisely. Let u = (s^2 + 4), which simplifies upon differentiation, and let dv = e^(3s)ds, which is straightforward to integrate. Compute du = 2s ds and v = (1/3)e^(3s) (since the integral of e^(3s) is (1/3)e^(3s)).
Step 3: Apply the integration by parts formula. Substitute u, du, v, and dv into ∫u dv = uv - ∫v du. This gives: ∫(s^2 + 4)e^(3s)ds = (1/3)(s^2 + 4)e^(3s) - ∫(1/3)(2s)e^(3s)ds.
Step 4: Simplify the remaining integral ∫(1/3)(2s)e^(3s)ds. Factor out constants (1/3 and 2) to get (2/3)∫s e^(3s)ds. Use integration by parts again for this integral, letting u = s and dv = e^(3s)ds. Compute du = ds and v = (1/3)e^(3s). Substitute into the formula ∫u dv = uv - ∫v du.
Step 5: Combine all terms from the integration by parts steps, including constants and the exponential function e^(3s). Add the constant of integration C at the end to represent the indefinite integral. The final expression will involve terms like (1/3)(s^2 + 4)e^(3s), (2/9)se^(3s), and additional constants.
