Integral of x^2-2x-5 dx

1. Integrate term-by-term:

   1. The integral of $x^{n}$ is $\frac{x^{n + 1}}{n + 1}$ when $n \neq -1$:

      $$\int x^{2}\, dx = \frac{x^{3}}{3}$$

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

      $$\int \left(- 2 x\right)\, dx = - \int 2 x\, dx$$

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

         $$\int 2 x\, dx = 2 \int x\, dx$$

         1. The integral of $x^{n}$ is $\frac{x^{n + 1}}{n + 1}$ when $n \neq -1$:

            $$\int x\, dx = \frac{x^{2}}{2}$$

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

      So, the result is: $- x^{2}$

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

      $$\int \left(\left(-1\right) 5\right)\, dx = - 5 x$$

   The result is: $\frac{x^{3}}{3} - x^{2} - 5 x$

2. Now simplify:

   $$\frac{x \left(x^{2} - 3 x - 15\right)}{3}$$

3. Add the constant of integration:

   $$\frac{x \left(x^{2} - 3 x - 15\right)}{3}+ \mathrm{constant}$$

The answer is:

$$\frac{x \left(x^{2} - 3 x - 15\right)}{3}+ \mathrm{constant}$$
