$$ \int_1^2 (2+3t)^{3/2} \ dt $$

I dont know how to solve this when $3/2$ is outside the brackets. If somebody could explain to me how to do this in the simplest way possible I would greatly appreciate it!

Set a change of variable $x = 2+3t, \ dx = 3 dt$. This gives the new bound $x\in [5,8]$ : $$ \int_1^2 (2+3t)^{3/2} \ dt = \frac13\int_5^8 x^{3/2}\ dx $$ Can you conclude using the well-known "$x^n$" primitive ?
