It is #x^3/3+C#

Explanation:

Note that #intx^ndx=x^(n+1)/(n+1)+C# if #n\ne -1#

#1/3x^3+C#

Explanation:

The antiderivative of a function is the integral of that function. So here we have:

#intx^2 \ dx#

Using the rule that #intx^n \ dx=(x^(n+1))/(n+1)+C,n!=-1#, we find that it equals:

#=(x^(2+1))/(2+1)+C#

#=1/3x^3+C#
