set u=2x+1 and do u-substitution
 


ok! I get it. I was looking in the wrong part of the book and I thought the directions said to use part 2 of the fundamental theorem! So I was freaking out because I was sure the theorem couldn't be used for this. thanks! sorry I asked a stupid question.
 


haha no problem. there are no stupid questions! :smile:
