Explanation:

Given:
f'(x) = x^2e^(2x^3) and
f(0) = 0

We can solve for f(x) by writing


\displaystyle f(x) = \int f'(x)dx=\int x^2e^(2x^3)dx

Let
u = 2x^3


\:\:\:\:du=6x^2dx

Then


\displaystyle f(x) = \int x^2e^(2x^3)dx = (1)/(6)\int e^u du


\displaystyle \:\:\:\:\:\:\:=(1)/(6)e^(2x^3) + k

We know that f(0) = 0 so we can find the value for k:


f(0) = (1)/(6)(1) + k \Rightarrow k = -(1)/(6)

Therefore,


\displaystyle f(x) = (1)/(6) \left(e^(2x^3) - 1 \right)
