Answer

$\frac{x^3}{3}-\frac{1}{2^x \ln 2}+C$

Work Step by Step

Let $\log x$ denote the natural logarithm $\ln x$. $\int(x^2)+2^{-x}$ -> $\int x^2$ $dx$ $+$ $\int2^{-x}$ $dx$ let $-x=u$ $-dx=dx$ $\int2^{-x}$ $dx$ $=-\int 2^u$ $du$ $=-\frac{2^u}{\log 2}$ $=-\frac{1}{2^x \log 2}$ Therefore, $\int(x^2)+2^{-x}$ $=\frac{x^3}{3}-\frac{1}{2^x \log 2}+C$
