1. **State the problem:** We need to find the indefinite integral $$\int (1 + x)(1 + 2x) \, dx$$.
2. **Expand the integrand:** Use the distributive property to multiply the two binomials:
$$ (1 + x)(1 + 2x) = 1 \cdot 1 + 1 \cdot 2x + x \cdot 1 + x \cdot 2x = 1 + 2x + x + 2x^2 = 1 + 3x + 2x^2 $$
3. **Rewrite the integral:**
$$ \int (1 + 3x + 2x^2) \, dx $$
4. **Integrate term-by-term:** Recall the power rule for integration: $$\int x^n \, dx = \frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1} + C$$ for any real number $n \neq -1$.
Apply this to each term:
- $$\int 1 \, dx = x$$
- $$\int 3x \, dx = 3 \cdot \frac{x^2}{2} = \frac{3x^2}{2}$$
- $$\int 2x^2 \, dx = 2 \cdot \frac{x^3}{3} = \frac{2x^3}{3}$$
5. **Combine the results:**
$$ x + \frac{3x^2}{2} + \frac{2x^3}{3} + C $$
6. **Final answer:**
$$ \boxed{x + \frac{3x^2}{2} + \frac{2x^3}{3} + C} $$
This is the antiderivative of the given function.
