integral of (e^x-x)^2

\int (e^{x} - x)^{2} d x

\frac{1}{2} e^{2 x} - 2 (e^{x} x - e^{x}) + \frac{x ^{3}}{3} + C

Solution steps

\int (e^{x} - x)^{2} d x

Expand

(e^{x} - x)^{2} : e^{2 x} - 2 e^{x} x + x^{2}

= \int e^{2 x} - 2 e^{x} x + x^{2} d x

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= \int e^{2 x} d x - \int 2 e^{x} x d x + \int x^{2} d x

\int e^{2 x} d x = \frac{1}{2} e^{2 x}

\int 2 e^{x} x d x = 2 (e^{x} x - e^{x})

\int x^{2} d x = \frac{x ^{3}}{3}

= \frac{1}{2} e^{2 x} - 2 (e^{x} x - e^{x}) + \frac{x ^{3}}{3}

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{2} e^{2 x} - 2 (e^{x} x - e^{x}) + \frac{x ^{3}}{3} + C
