Step 1
put x2+a2=u
2xdx=du
xdx=du2
x(x2+a2)mdx=(du2um))
=12umdu
=12um+1m+1+C[xndx=xn+1n+1]
=12(x2+a2)m+1m+1+C
=12(m+1)(x2+a2)m1+C
Veification:
Differentiating obtained integral value with respect to x, we get
ddx(12(m+1)(x2+a2)m1+C)=ddx((x2+a2)m+12(m+1)+C)
=12(m+1)(m+1)(x2+a2)m+11d(x2+a2)dx+0
12(x2+a2)m(2x+0)
=x(x2+a2)m
