y=-1/3x^3+1/2x^2-4x+17/3y=13x3+12x24x+173

Explanation:

Integrate each term using the color(blue)"power rule"power rule

color(orange)"Reminder "color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(a/a)color(black)(int(ax^n)dx=a/(n+1)x^(n+1))|)))

rArrint(-x^2+x-4)dx

y=-1/3x^3+1/2x^2-4x+c

To find c, the constant of integration, substitute x = 2 , y = - 3

rArr-1/3(2)^3+1/2(2)^2-4(2)+c=-3

rArrc=-3+8/3-2+8=5 2/3=17/3

rArry=-1/3x^3+1/2x^2-4x+17/3
