Answer

$$ f(x) =-\frac{2x^6}{15}+\frac{x^3}{6}+\frac{x^8}{56}+Cx+\frac{x^2}{2}+D $$ where $C,D$ are arbitrary constants .

Work Step by Step

$$ f^{\prime \prime}(x)= x^{6}-4x^{4}+ x+1 $$ The general anti-derivative of $ f^{\prime \prime}(x)=20 x^{3}-12 x^{2}+6 x $ is $$ f^{\prime}(x) =\frac{x^7}{7}-\frac{4x^5}{5}+\frac{x^2}{2}+x+ C $$ Using the anti-differentiation rules once more, we find that $$ f(x) =-\frac{2x^6}{15}+\frac{x^3}{6}+\frac{x^8}{56}+Cx+\frac{x^2}{2}+D $$ where $C,D$ are arbitrary constants .
