$f (x) = 3 x + 8 x^{3} + x^{- 3} + 5 x^{2}$

Step 1

The function $F (x)$ can be found by finding the indefinite integral of the derivative $f (x)$ .

$F (x) = \int f (x) d x$

Step 2

Set up the integral to solve.

$F (x) = \int 3 x + 8 x^{3} + x^{- 3} + 5 x^{2} d x$

Step 3

Split the single integral into multiple integrals.

$\int 3 x d x + \int 8 x^{3} d x + \int x^{- 3} d x + \int 5 x^{2} d x$

Step 4

Since $3$ is constant with respect to $x$ , move $3$ out of the integral.

$3 \int x d x + \int 8 x^{3} d x + \int x^{- 3} d x + \int 5 x^{2} d x$

Step 5

By the Power Rule, the integral of $x$ with respect to $x$ is $\frac{1}{2} x^{2}$ .

$3 (\frac{1}{2} x^{2} + C) + \int 8 x^{3} d x + \int x^{- 3} d x + \int 5 x^{2} d x$

Step 6

Since $8$ is constant with respect to $x$ , move $8$ out of the integral.

$3 (\frac{1}{2} x^{2} + C) + 8 \int x^{3} d x + \int x^{- 3} d x + \int 5 x^{2} d x$

Step 7

By the Power Rule, the integral of $x^{3}$ with respect to $x$ is $\frac{1}{4} x^{4}$ .

$3 (\frac{1}{2} x^{2} + C) + 8 (\frac{1}{4} x^{4} + C) + \int x^{- 3} d x + \int 5 x^{2} d x$

Step 8

By the Power Rule, the integral of $x^{- 3}$ with respect to $x$ is $- \frac{1}{2} x^{- 2}$ .

$3 (\frac{1}{2} x^{2} + C) + 8 (\frac{1}{4} x^{4} + C) - \frac{1}{2} x^{- 2} + C + \int 5 x^{2} d x$

Step 10

Since $5$ is constant with respect to $x$ , move $5$ out of the integral.

$3 (\frac{x^{2}}{2} + C) + 8 (\frac{x^{4}}{4} + C) - \frac{1}{2} x^{- 2} + C + 5 \int x^{2} d x$

Step 11

By the Power Rule, the integral of $x^{2}$ with respect to $x$ is $\frac{1}{3} x^{3}$ .

$3 (\frac{x^{2}}{2} + C) + 8 (\frac{x^{4}}{4} + C) - \frac{1}{2} x^{- 2} + C + 5 (\frac{1}{3} x^{3} + C)$
