integral of (x^3-1)/(x^2)

\int \frac{x ^{3} - 1}{x ^{2}} d x

\frac{x ^{2}}{2} + \frac{1}{x} + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{x ^{3} - 1}{x ^{2}} d x

Expand

\frac{x ^{3} - 1}{x ^{2}} : x - \frac{1}{x ^{2}}

= \int x - \frac{1}{x ^{2}} d x

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= \int x d x - \int \frac{1}{x ^{2}} d x

\int x d x = \frac{x ^{2}}{2}

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2}} d x = - \frac{1}{x}

= \frac{x ^{2}}{2} - (- \frac{1}{x})

Simplify

= \frac{x ^{2}}{2} + \frac{1}{x}

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{x ^{2}}{2} + \frac{1}{x} + C

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{15}{ln ( x )})

\int \frac{x ^{2}}{9 - 16 x ^{2}} d x

\frac{d}{d y} (y - x^{3})

\frac{d}{d x} (ln (x + 2) - x + 2)

\int \frac{1}{( 1 + u ^{2} ) ^{2}} d u
