integral of (-x^2)/2

Solution

\int \frac{- x ^{2}}{2} d x

Solution

- \frac{x ^{3}}{6} + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{- x ^{2}}{2} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{- 1}{2} \cdot \int x^{2} d x

Simplify

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

Apply the Power Rule

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

Simplify

(- \frac{1}{2}) \frac{x ^{3}}{3} : - \frac{x ^{3}}{6}

= - \frac{x ^{3}}{6}

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{x ^{3}}{6} + C
