Correct Option: B
To find the integral of (2x+1)^3, we can use the power rule for integration and the chain rule.
1. **Power Rule:** The power rule for integration states that ∫x^n dx = (x^(n+1))/(n+1) + C, where C is the constant of integration.
2. **Apply the rule:** In this case, we have ∫(2x+1)^3 dx. Let u = 2x + 1. Then du/dx = 2, which means dx = du/2.
3. **Substitute and Integrate:** Substitute u and dx in the integral:
∫u^3 (du/2) = (1/2)∫u^3 du
Applying the power rule:
