another try you can solve it with Gamma function
ex3dx=13ett131dt13ett131dt=130tett13dt+c130tett131dt+c=13(0ett131dttett131dt)+C13(0ett131dttett131dt)+C=13Γ(13,t)+d13Γ(13,t)+d=13Γ(13,x3)+dsoex3dx=13Γ(13,x3)+d
where d and c are constant

The antiderivative of ex3 cannot be expressed in terms of elementary functions. We can, however, express it using power series. Since
ex=n0xnn!
ex3=n0(x3)nn!=n0x3nn!
You can integrate term by term to find a series representation of the antiderivative (which converges on the entire complex plane, since ex3 is an entire function).
