Answer

Therefore, the correct answer is B. (xy+12xy)dx=yx.

Steps

Step 1 :First, we need to find a function of x that will make the integrand equal to the derivative of a product. This means we need to find a function f(x) such that the integrand is equal to (f(x)y(x)).

Step 2 :We know that the derivative of a product of two functions is given by the product rule: (f(x)y(x))=f(x)y(x)+f(x)y(x).

Step 3 :Comparing this with the integrand, we see that f(x)=12x and f(x)=?.

Step 4 :We can find f(x) by integrating f(x): f(x)=f(x)dx=12xdx=x.

Step 5 :So, the function that replaces the question mark is x.

Step 6 :Now, we can write the integrand as (xy(x)) and find the antiderivative: (xy(x))dx=xy(x).

Step 7 :Since we are asked to choose 0 for the constant of integration, the final answer is xy(x).

Step 8 :Therefore, the correct answer is B. (xy+12xy)dx=yx.
