What is the integral of ∫ e^ (x^2 +sinx) dx


I got the answer e^(x^2+sinx)/(2x+cosx) but I know that is wrong. I don't understand how you treat the + part for an e^() problem.

There is presumably no closed form solution involving elementary functions.

Mathematica agrees: http://integrals.wolfram.com/index.jsp?expr=e^(x^2+%2B+sin(x))&random=false
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
