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

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

- \frac{1}{2 x ^{2}} - \frac{1}{3 x ^{3}} + C

Solution steps

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

Simplify

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

= \int \frac{x + 1}{x ^{4}} d x

Expand

\frac{x + 1}{x ^{4}} : \frac{1}{x ^{3}} + \frac{1}{x ^{4}}

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

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

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{2 x ^{2}} - \frac{1}{3 x ^{3}} + C

\int \frac{( 3 x ^{2} + 6 x + 1 )}{x} d x

\int \frac{1}{( x + \frac{1}{2} ) 4 x ^{2} + 4 x} d x

\int \frac{x ^{2}}{9 x ^{2} + 4} d x

\int (\frac{- 1}{x ^{2}}) d x

\int \frac{10}{x ^{3} - x ^{2} + 9 x - 9} d x
