Answer

12x4−53x3+2x2−x+C\frac{1}{2}x^4 - \frac{5}{3}x^3 + 2x^2 - x + C

Step-by-step solution

2 steps
  1. Apply the power rule for integration to each term.

    The power rule for integration states that ∫xn dx=xn+1n+1+C\int x^n\,dx = \frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1} + C. We apply this rule to each term in the polynomial.

    ∫(2x3−5x2+4x−1) dx=∫2x3 dx−∫5x2 dx+∫4x dx−∫1 dx\int (2x^3-5x^2+4x-1)\,dx = \int 2x^3\,dx - \int 5x^2\,dx + \int 4x\,dx - \int 1\,dx

    Integrate each term:

    ∫2x3 dx=2⋅x3+13+1=2⋅x44\int 2x^3\,dx = 2 \cdot \frac{x^{3+1}}{3+1} = 2 \cdot \frac{x^4}{4} ∫5x2 dx=5⋅x2+12+1=5⋅x33\int 5x^2\,dx = 5 \cdot \frac{x^{2+1}}{2+1} = 5 \cdot \frac{x^3}{3} ∫4x dx=4⋅x1+11+1=4⋅x22\int 4x\,dx = 4 \cdot \frac{x^{1+1}}{1+1} = 4 \cdot \frac{x^2}{2} ∫1 dx=x\int 1\,dx = x
  2. Combine the integrated terms and simplify.

    ∫(2x3−5x2+4x−1) dx=2⋅x44−5⋅x33+4⋅x22−x+C\int (2x^3-5x^2+4x-1)\,dx = 2 \cdot \frac{x^4}{4} - 5 \cdot \frac{x^3}{3} + 4 \cdot \frac{x^2}{2} - x + C =2x44−5x33+4x22−x+C= \frac{2x^4}{4} - \frac{5x^3}{3} + \frac{4x^2}{2} - x + C =12x4−53x3+2x2−x+C= \frac{1}{2}x^4 - \frac{5}{3}x^3 + 2x^2 - x + C

    The final answer is 12x4−53x3+2x2−x+C\frac{1}{2}x^4 - \frac{5}{3}x^3 + 2x^2 - x + C.
