Detail solution

  1. Integrate term-by-term:

    1. Integrate term-by-term:

      1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:

        ∫(−x2) dx=−∫x2 dx\int \left(- x^{2}\right)\, dx = - \int x^{2}\, dx

        1. The integral of xnx^{n} is xn+1n+1\frac{x^{n + 1}}{n + 1} when n≠−1n \neq -1:

          ∫x2 dx=x33\int x^{2}\, dx = \frac{x^{3}}{3}

        So, the result is: −x33- \frac{x^{3}}{3}

      1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:

        ∫4x dx=4∫x dx\int 4 x\, dx = 4 \int x\, dx

        1. The integral of xnx^{n} is xn+1n+1\frac{x^{n + 1}}{n + 1} when n≠−1n \neq -1:

          ∫x dx=x22\int x\, dx = \frac{x^{2}}{2}

        So, the result is: 2x22 x^{2}

      The result is: −x33+2x2- \frac{x^{3}}{3} + 2 x^{2}

    1. The integral of a constant is the constant times the variable of integration:

      ∫(−1) dx=−x\int \left(-1\right)\, dx = - x

    The result is: −x33+2x2−x- \frac{x^{3}}{3} + 2 x^{2} - x

  2. Now simplify:

    x(−x2+6x−3)3\frac{x \left(- x^{2} + 6 x - 3\right)}{3}

  3. Add the constant of integration:

    x(−x2+6x−3)3+constant\frac{x \left(- x^{2} + 6 x - 3\right)}{3}+ \mathrm{constant}

The answer is:

x(−x2+6x−3)3+constant\frac{x \left(- x^{2} + 6 x - 3\right)}{3}+ \mathrm{constant}
