Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
f(x) = x^6 -2x^-3 +5
integrate. Increase each exponent by one and divide by the same
6+1 = 7,
-3+1 = -2
0+1 = 1 (5 is the same as 5x^0, x^1 is the same as x)
then add an unknown constant C
F(x) = x^7/7 -2x^-2/-2 +5x + C
F(x) = (1/7)x^7 +1/x^2 +5x + C
plug in x=1 to solve for C
F(1) = 0 = 1/7 +1/2 +5 + C
C = -1/7-1/2 -5
C = -2/14 -7/14 -70/14
C = -79/14
C =-5 9/14
F(x) = (1/7)x^7 + 1/x^ 2+ 5x - 79/14
