integral of (5-x)/(x^3)

\int \frac{5 - x}{x ^{3}} d x

- \frac{5}{2 x ^{2}} + \frac{1}{x} + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{5 - x}{x ^{3}} d x

Expand

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

= \int \frac{5}{x ^{3}} - \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 \frac{5}{x ^{3}} d x - \int \frac{1}{x ^{2}} d x

\int \frac{5}{x ^{3}} d x = - \frac{5}{2 x ^{2}}

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

= - \frac{5}{2 x ^{2}} - (- \frac{1}{x})

Simplify

= - \frac{5}{2 x ^{2}} + \frac{1}{x}

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{5}{2 x ^{2}} + \frac{1}{x} + C

\int \frac{1}{8 - 12 x - x ^{2}} d x

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

\int e^{6 x^{2}} d x

\int \frac{6 x ^{2} + 3 x - 44}{x ^{2} + x - 6} d x

\int sec^{13} (x) tan (x) d x
