Find $$$\int \left(x^{3} - x^{2}\right)\, dx$$$.
Solution
Integrate term by term:
$${\color{red}{\int{\left(x^{3} - x^{2}\right)d x}}} = {\color{red}{\left(- \int{x^{2} d x} + \int{x^{3} d x}\right)}}$$
Apply the power rule $$$\int x^{n}\, dx = \frac{x^{n + 1}}{n + 1}$$$ $$$\left(n \neq -1 \right)$$$ with $$$n=3$$$:
$$- \int{x^{2} d x} + {\color{red}{\int{x^{3} d x}}}=- \int{x^{2} d x} + {\color{red}{\frac{x^{1 + 3}}{1 + 3}}}=- \int{x^{2} d x} + {\color{red}{\left(\frac{x^{4}}{4}\right)}}$$
Apply the power rule $$$\int x^{n}\, dx = \frac{x^{n + 1}}{n + 1}$$$ $$$\left(n \neq -1 \right)$$$ with $$$n=2$$$:
$$\frac{x^{4}}{4} - {\color{red}{\int{x^{2} d x}}}=\frac{x^{4}}{4} - {\color{red}{\frac{x^{1 + 2}}{1 + 2}}}=\frac{x^{4}}{4} - {\color{red}{\left(\frac{x^{3}}{3}\right)}}$$
Therefore,
$$\int{\left(x^{3} - x^{2}\right)d x} = \frac{x^{4}}{4} - \frac{x^{3}}{3}$$
Simplify:
$$\int{\left(x^{3} - x^{2}\right)d x} = \frac{x^{3} \left(3 x - 4\right)}{12}$$
Add the constant of integration:
$$\int{\left(x^{3} - x^{2}\right)d x} = \frac{x^{3} \left(3 x - 4\right)}{12}+C$$
Answer
$$$\int \left(x^{3} - x^{2}\right)\, dx = \frac{x^{3} \left(3 x - 4\right)}{12} + C$$$A
