The antiderivative of the given function we can find as:

f(x)dx=(12ex5x2)dx=12exdx5x2dx[Sum Rule]=12exdx5x2dx[Multiples Rule]=12ex5x2+12+1+C[Power Rule]=12ex+5x1+C\begin{align*} \int f(x) dx&=\int (12e^x-5x^{-2})dx\\ &= \int12 e^x dx - \int 5 x^{-2} dx&&\text{[Sum Rule]}\\ &= 12\int e^x dx - 5 \int x^{-2} dx&&\text{[Multiples Rule]}\\ &=12 e^x -5 \cdot \dfrac{x^{-2+1}}{-2+1} +C&&\text{[Power Rule]}\\ &=12 e^x +5 x^{-1}+ C \end{align*}
