The value of integral $\int_{-2}^0\left(x^3+3 x^2+3 x+5+(x+1) \cos (x+1)\right) d x$ is equal to

The value of integral $\int_{-2}^0\left(x^3+3 x^2+3 x+5+(x+1) \cos (x+1)\right) d x$ is equal to
  1. 0
  2. 6
  3. 4
  4. 8

Solution

Let $\begin{aligned} I & =\int_{-2}^0\left[x^3+3 x^2+3 x+5+(x+1) \cos (x+1)\right] d x \\ & =\int_{-2}^0\left[(x+1)^3+4+(x+1) \cos (x+1)\right] d x\end{aligned}$ $\begin{array}{ll} & \text { Put } x+1=t \Rightarrow d x=d t \\ \therefore \quad & I=\int_{-1}^1\left(t^3+4+t \cos t\right) d t \end{array}$
Since $t^3$ and $t \cos t$ are odd functions. $\therefore \quad I=\int_{-1}^1 4 d t=4[t]_{-1}^1=8$ [Note: The answer of the question is not mentioned as an option.]
