Answer

$ \displaystyle \frac{x^{3}}{3}+\cdot\frac{3x^{-5}}{10}+C$

Work Step by Step

Expand (multiply out) the integrand, ...$=\displaystyle \int(x^{-2+4}-\frac{3}{2}x^{-2-4})dx=\int(x^{2}-\frac{3}{2}x^{-6})dx$ ... Sum and Difference RuIes, $=\displaystyle \int x^{2}dx-\int\frac{3}{2}x^{-6}dx$ ... Constant MultipIe Rule $=\displaystyle \int x^{2}dx-\frac{3}{2}\int x^{-6}dx$ ... both integrals: Power Rule, $n\neq-1$ $=\displaystyle \frac{x^{3}}{3}-\frac{3}{2}\cdot\frac{x^{-5}}{-5}+C$ $=\displaystyle \frac{x^{3}}{3}+\cdot\frac{3x^{-5}}{10}+C$
