Answer

$$F(x)=x^6-\frac{8}{5}x^5-3x^3+C$$

Work Step by Step

Given $$f(x) =6x^5-8x^4-9x^2$$ Then by using if $f(x)=x^{\alpha}\ \to\ \ F(x) = \frac{x^{\alpha+1}}{\alpha+1}+C$ \begin{align*} F(x) &=\frac{6x^6}{6}-\frac{8x^5}{5}-\frac{9x^3}{3}+C\\ &= x^6-\frac{8}{5}x^5-3x^3+C \end{align*} To check \begin{align*} F'(x) &=6x^5-8x^4-9x^2\\ &=f(x) \end{align*}
