integral of ((x^{-2}-4))/(x^3)

\int \frac{( x ^{- 2} - 4 )}{x ^{3}} d x

- \frac{1}{4 x ^{4}} + \frac{2}{x ^{2}} + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{x ^{- 2} - 4}{x ^{3}} d x

Expand

\frac{x ^{- 2} - 4}{x ^{3}} : \frac{1}{x ^{5}} - \frac{4}{x ^{3}}

= \int \frac{1}{x ^{5}} - \frac{4}{x ^{3}} 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 \frac{1}{x ^{5}} d x - \int \frac{4}{x ^{3}} d x

\int \frac{1}{x ^{5}} d x = - \frac{1}{4 x ^{4}}

\int \frac{4}{x ^{3}} d x = - \frac{2}{x ^{2}}

= - \frac{1}{4 x ^{4}} - (- \frac{2}{x ^{2}})

Simplify

= - \frac{1}{4 x ^{4}} + \frac{2}{x ^{2}}

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{4 x ^{4}} + \frac{2}{x ^{2}} + C

\int (2 x - 3)^{2} (2 x - 3)^{2} + 4 d x

cos^{2} (17 t)

x \to \infty lim (\frac{x ^{l n (n)}}{x ^{l n (n) + 1}})

ln (\frac{x}{y})

\int sin (2 x) sin (6 x) d x
