Answer

$-(\dfrac{5}{8}) (2-x)^{(8/5)}+c$

Work Step by Step

Since, we know $\int x^{a} dx=\dfrac{x^{a+1}}{n+1}+c$ where $c$ is a constant of proportionality. Plug $2-x=a$ and $dx =-da$ $a^{3/5} da=[\dfrac{a^{3/5+1}}{3/5+1}]+c$ or, $[\dfrac{a^{3/5+1}}{\frac{3}{5}+1}]+c=-(\dfrac{5}{8}) [a^{(8/5)}]+c$ Hence, $-(\dfrac{5}{8}) [a^{(8/5)}]+c=-(\dfrac{5}{8}) (2-x)^{(8/5)}+c$
