SUMMARY
The integral of ∫ e^(x^2 + sin(x)) dx does not have a closed-form solution involving elementary functions. A user initially proposed the incorrect solution e^(x^2 + sin(x))/(2x + cos(x)). This was confirmed by Mathematica, which indicates that the integral cannot be expressed in terms of standard functions. Therefore, numerical methods or special functions must be employed for evaluation.
