Step 3

Split the single integral into multiple integrals.

$\int 3 x^{8} d x + \int \frac{12}{x} d x$

Step 4

Since $3$ is constant with respect to $x$ , move $3$ out of the integral.

$3 \int x^{8} d x + \int \frac{12}{x} d x$

Step 5

By the Power Rule, the integral of $x^{8}$ with respect to $x$ is $\frac{1}{9} x^{9}$ .
