Look at the second integral, it can rewritten as:

2 1 sin ( ( x + 6 ) 2 3 ) d x \displaystyle \int_{-2}^1\sin((x+6)^2-3)\, dx

Use the substitution, x + 6 = t x+6=-t , the lower limit change to 4 -4 and upper limit to 5 -5 . Also, d x = d t dx=-dt . Hence, the second integral is equivalent to

4 5 sin ( t 2 3 ) d t \displaystyle -\int_{-4}^{-5} \sin(t^2-3)\,dt

This is same as the first integral with just the opposite sign. Hence, A = 0 A=0 .

A + 1 = 1 \displaystyle \Rightarrow \boxed{A+1=1}
