This problem is just testing to make sure you know how to combine exponents.  Using the rules t^a t^b = t^{a+b} and the rule (x + y)/c = x/c + y/c, you should be able to split this integral up into two simpler integrals. Then apply the power rule. Try that and, if you're still stuck, send me another message.
