Solution
Let’s actually start by getting the derivative of this function to
help us see how we’re going to have to approach this problem.
The derivative of this function is,
INDEFINITE INTEGRALS
The point of this was to remind us of how differentiation works
When differentiating powers of we multiply the term by the original
exponent and then drop the exponent by one.
Now, let’s go back and work the problem.
In fact let’s just start with the first term.
We got by differentiating a function and since we drop the exponent
by one it looks like we must have differentiated .
However, if we had differentiated we would have and we don’t have
5 in front our first term, so the 5 needs to cancel out after we’ve
differentiated.
It looks then like we would have to differentiate in order to get .
INDEFINITE INTEGRALS
Likewise for the second term, in order to get 3x after
differentiating we would have to differentiate
Again, the fraction is there to cancel out the 2 we pick up in the
differentiation.
The third term is just a constant and we know that if we
differentiate x we get 1.
So, it looks like we had to differentiate -9x to get the last term.
Putting all of this together gives the following function,
Our answer is easy enough to check. Simply differentiate F(x).

So, it looks like we had to differentiate -9x to get the last term.
Putting all of this together gives the following function,
Solution
Since this is really asking for the most general anti-derivative
we just need to reuse the final answer from the first example.
The indefinite integral is,
