what is .25x^2 + (2/9)x^3- (5/24)x^4 + C
check that.
x / 2 + 2 x^2 / 3 - 5 x^3 / 6 =

3 ∙ x / 3 ∙ 2 + 2 ∙ 2 x^2 / 2 ∙ 3 - 5 x^3 / 6 =

3 ∙ x / 6 + 4 x^2 / 6 - 5 x^3 / 6 =

( 1 / 6 ) ∙ ( 3 x + 4 x^2 - 5 x^3 ) =

( 1 / 6 ) ∙ ( - 5 x^3 + 3 x + 4 x^2 )

∫ ( 1 / 6 ) ∙ ( - 5 x^3 + 4 x^2 + 3 x ) dx =

( 1 / 6 ) ∙ ( - 5 ∫ x^3 dx + 4 ∫ x^2 dx + 3 ∫ x dx ) =

( 1 / 6 ) ∙ ( - 5 x^4 / 4 + 4 x^3 / 3 + 3 x^2 ) + C =

( 1 / 6 ) ∙ ( - 5 ∙ 3 x^4 / 3 ∙ 4 + 4 ∙ 4 x^3 / 4 ∙ 3 + 3 ∙ 12 x^2 / 12 ) + C =

( 1 / 6 ) ∙ ( - 15 ∙ x^4 / 12 + 16 x^3 / 12 + 36 x^2 / 12 ) + C =

( 1 / 6 ∙ 12 ) ∙ ( - 15 ∙ x^4 + 16 x^3 + 36 x^2 ) + C =

( 1 / 72 ) ∙ ( - 15 ∙ x^4 + 16 x^3 + 36 x^2 ) + C =

( - 1 / 72 ) ∙ ( 15 ∙ x^4 - 16 x^3 - 36 x^2 ) + C

The same answer as bobpursley's but written differently.
