integral of (2-x)^3

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

- \frac{( 2 - x ) ^{4}}{4} + C

Solution steps

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

Apply u-substitution

= \int - u^{3} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= - \int u^{3} d u

Apply the Power Rule

= - \frac{u ^{4}}{4}

Substitute back

u = 2 - x

= - \frac{( 2 - x ) ^{4}}{4}

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{( 2 - x ) ^{4}}{4} + C
