What's the best way to integrate this?

[jmbeach1]

I'm working on a line integral problem and after it's parameterized, it is:

Is there a better way to solve this than just expanding it out? I don't think I can use u-substitution. Can I use integration by parts?

Is it t2 (some variable or constant t2) or t*2 (t multiplied by 2) or t² (t*t = t square)?

If t2 is t*2 or t^2 then the function being integrated is a polynomial.

Expand the polynomial and integrate term-by-term.
