    Take (x+1)^2 = t

    therefore 2(x+1) dx = dt

    multiply and divide the integral by 2

    1/2 ∫ 2(x + 1)5^(x + 1)^2 dx

    1/2 ∫ 5^t dt using the above relation

    1/2 .(5^t)/ log(5)

    =>{5^(x+1)^2}/2log(5)

    y=ce^kt

    2=1e^.015t

    2= e^.015t

    ln 2 = .015t ln e

    ln 2/ .015 =t

    t= 46.2098 years

    combine to

    int (x+1)^7

    = 1/8 (x+1)^8 +c
