Math Help - Integral Multiple Choice Problem

1. Integral Multiple Choice Problem

If the Function $f$ is defined by f(x)= √x³ + 2 and $g$ is an antiderivative of f such that g (3) = 5, THEN g(1)= ??

A. -3.268
B. -1.585
C. 6.585
D. 1.732
E. 11.585

How would you go about solving this problem? thanks!
Oh and the square root sign is for both the x^3 and the 2.

Well, Lets do it step by step.
You are telling that $g(x)=\int f(x)dx$.
Start by finding $g(x)$, i.e. by integrating $f(x)$.

What will you get?

3. the integration of the x^3 +2 is where I get stuck. How would I go about doing this? u substitution?

Specify your $f(x)$.
In post #1 you said $f(x)=\sqrt{x^3}+2$ or maybe $f(x)=\sqrt{x^3+2}$.

And in post #3 you said $f(x)=x^3+2$.

Which one is your $f$ ?

5. the square root of (x^3 + 2).

I don't know how to make a root sign that goes over both of the characters
