To solve this indefinite integral, we must apply the addition rule of integrals which states that the integral of a sum is the sum of the individual integrals. Therefore, we can write the expression of the indefinite integral as:

(2x3-x2+3)dx = (2x3) -(x2)+(3)

When integrating expressions with exponents, we simply add +1 to the exponent and then divide the expression by the new exponent. We can think of the last term as 3 = 3x0. Solving each individual integral, we get:

(2x3-x2+3)dx = 2x44 -x33+3x = x42-x33+3x

As with solving all indefinite integrals, we must add a constant C term to the expression to arrive at the general solution:

(2x3-x2+3)dx = x42-x33+3x+C
