We can expand the expression inside the integral $\left(x^2+1\right)^5$ using Newton's binomial theorem, which is a formula that allow us to find the expanded form of a binomial raised to a positive integer $n$. The formula is as follows: $\displaystyle(a\pm b)^n=\sum_{k=0}^{n}\left(\begin{matrix}n\\k\end{matrix}\right)a^{n-k}b^k=\left(\begin{matrix}n\\0\end{matrix}\right)a^n\pm\left(\begin{matrix}n\\1\end{matrix}\right)a^{n-1}b+\left(\begin{matrix}n\\2\end{matrix}\right)a^{n-2}b^2\pm\dots\pm\left(\begin{matrix}n\\n\end{matrix}\right)b^n$. The number of terms resulting from the expansion always equals $n + 1$. The coefficients $\left(\begin{matrix}n\\k\end{matrix}\right)$ are combinatorial numbers which correspond to the nth row of the Tartaglia triangle (or Pascal's triangle). In the formula, we can observe that the exponent of $a$ decreases, from $n$ to $0$, while the exponent of $b$ increases, from $0$ to $n$. If one of the binomial terms is negative, the positive and negative signs alternate.
Expand the integral $\int\left(x^{10}+5x^{8}+10x^{6}+10x^{4}+5x^2+1\right)dx$ into $6$ integrals using the sum rule for integrals, to then solve each integral separately
The integral $\int x^{10}dx$ results in: $\frac{x^{11}}{11}$
The integral $\int5x^{8}dx$ results in: $\frac{5}{9}x^{9}$
The integral $\int10x^{6}dx$ results in: $\frac{10}{7}x^{7}$
The integral $\int10x^{4}dx$ results in: $2x^{5}$
The integral $\int5x^2dx$ results in: $\frac{5}{3}x^{3}$
The integral $\int1dx$ results in: $x$
Gather the results of all integrals
As the integral that we are solving is an indefinite integral, when we finish integrating we must add the constant of integration $C$
