integral of (a-x)^2

\int (a - x)^{2} d x

- \frac{( a - x ) ^{3}}{3} + C

Solution steps

\int (a - x)^{2} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int - u^{2} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= - \int u^{2} d u

Apply the Power Rule

= - \frac{u ^{3}}{3}

Substitute back

u = a - x

= - \frac{( a - x ) ^{3}}{3}

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{( a - x ) ^{3}}{3} + C

\int \frac{5 t ^{2} + 7}{t ^{\frac{4}{3}}} d t

\int (x^{3} + y^{3}) d x

\int cos^{3} (3 x) \cdot sin^{7} (3 x) d x

\int \frac{x ^{3}}{( x ^{2} - 1 ) ^{2}} d x

\int \frac{4 x ^{2} + 1}{x} d x
