Differentiate the given antiderivative to recover f′(x)f'(x), then integrate.

Step 1. Differentiate both sides with respect to xx: f′(x)ex2=ddx[(x−1)ex2]f'(x)e^{x^2}=\dfrac{d}{dx}\left[(x-1)e^{x^2}\right].

Step 2. ddx[(x−1)ex2]=ex2+(x−1)(2x)ex2=ex2[1+2x2−2x]\dfrac{d}{dx}\left[(x-1)e^{x^2}\right]=e^{x^2}+(x-1)(2x)e^{x^2}=e^{x^2}\left[1+2x^2-2x\right].

Step 3. Cancelling ex2e^{x^2}: f′(x)=2x2−2x+1f'(x)=2x^2-2x+1. Integrating, f(x)=2x33−x2+x+cf(x)=\dfrac{2x^3}3-x^2+x+c.

✓Final answer

Option (4): 2x33−x2+x+c\dfrac{2x^3}3-x^2+x+c
