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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Expand

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

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

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

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

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

Simplify

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int \frac{- 2 x ^{3}}{x ^{2} + 9} d x

\int \frac{sec ( x )}{cot ( x )} d x

\int (1 + x^{2}) cos (x) d x

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

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