Homework Statement



Using a suitable substitution find the solution to:

∫ (x+2)50(x+1)dx


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I can't find a solution to this using substitution. Wolfram alpha give an answer that is too long to be calculated by hand. Can anyone work out the solution, or is there a mistake in the question which means it can't be solved?
