Integral of $$$x^{3} \left(- x - 2\right)$$$

Find $$$\int x^{3} \left(- x - 2\right)\, dx$$$.

Simplify the integrand:

$${\color{red}{\int{x^{3} \left(- x - 2\right) d x}}} = {\color{red}{\int{\left(- x^{3} \left(x + 2\right)\right)d x}}}$$

Apply the constant multiple rule $$$\int c f{\left(x \right)}\, dx = c \int f{\left(x \right)}\, dx$$$ with $$$c=-1$$$ and $$$f{\left(x \right)} = x^{3} \left(x + 2\right)$$$:

$${\color{red}{\int{\left(- x^{3} \left(x + 2\right)\right)d x}}} = {\color{red}{\left(- \int{x^{3} \left(x + 2\right) d x}\right)}}$$

Expand the expression:

$$- {\color{red}{\int{x^{3} \left(x + 2\right) d x}}} = - {\color{red}{\int{\left(x^{4} + 2 x^{3}\right)d x}}}$$

Integrate term by term:

$$- {\color{red}{\int{\left(x^{4} + 2 x^{3}\right)d x}}} = - {\color{red}{\left(\int{2 x^{3} d x} + \int{x^{4} d x}\right)}}$$

Apply the power rule $$$\int x^{n}\, dx = \frac{x^{n + 1}}{n + 1}$$$ $$$\left(n \neq -1 \right)$$$ with $$$n=4$$$:

$$- \int{2 x^{3} d x} - {\color{red}{\int{x^{4} d x}}}=- \int{2 x^{3} d x} - {\color{red}{\frac{x^{1 + 4}}{1 + 4}}}=- \int{2 x^{3} d x} - {\color{red}{\left(\frac{x^{5}}{5}\right)}}$$

Apply the constant multiple rule $$$\int c f{\left(x \right)}\, dx = c \int f{\left(x \right)}\, dx$$$ with $$$c=2$$$ and $$$f{\left(x \right)} = x^{3}$$$:

$$- \frac{x^{5}}{5} - {\color{red}{\int{2 x^{3} d x}}} = - \frac{x^{5}}{5} - {\color{red}{\left(2 \int{x^{3} d x}\right)}}$$

Apply the power rule $$$\int x^{n}\, dx = \frac{x^{n + 1}}{n + 1}$$$ $$$\left(n \neq -1 \right)$$$ with $$$n=3$$$:

$$- \frac{x^{5}}{5} - 2 {\color{red}{\int{x^{3} d x}}}=- \frac{x^{5}}{5} - 2 {\color{red}{\frac{x^{1 + 3}}{1 + 3}}}=- \frac{x^{5}}{5} - 2 {\color{red}{\left(\frac{x^{4}}{4}\right)}}$$

Therefore,

$$\int{x^{3} \left(- x - 2\right) d x} = - \frac{x^{5}}{5} - \frac{x^{4}}{2}$$

Simplify:

$$\int{x^{3} \left(- x - 2\right) d x} = \frac{x^{4} \left(- 2 x - 5\right)}{10}$$

Add the constant of integration:

$$\int{x^{3} \left(- x - 2\right) d x} = \frac{x^{4} \left(- 2 x - 5\right)}{10}+C$$

$$$\int x^{3} \left(- x - 2\right)\, dx = \frac{x^{4} \left(- 2 x - 5\right)}{10} + C$$$A
