integral of (x-2)(2x+1)

\int (x - 2) (2 x + 1) d x

\frac{2 x ^{3}}{3} - \frac{3 x ^{2}}{2} - 2 x + C

Solution steps

\int (x - 2) (2 x + 1) d x

Expand

(x - 2) (2 x + 1) : 2 x^{2} - 3 x - 2

= \int 2 x^{2} - 3 x - 2 d x

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= \int 2 x^{2} d x - \int 3 x d x - \int 2 d x

\int 2 x^{2} d x = \frac{2 x ^{3}}{3}

\int 3 x d x = \frac{3 x ^{2}}{2}

\int 2 d x = 2 x

= \frac{2 x ^{3}}{3} - \frac{3 x ^{2}}{2} - 2 x

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{2 x ^{3}}{3} - \frac{3 x ^{2}}{2} - 2 x + C
