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

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

\frac{1}{x} + C

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

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

Apply the Power Rule

: - \frac{1}{x}

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

Simplify

= \frac{1}{x}

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{x} + C

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

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

\int \frac{y}{16 - y ^{2}} d y

\int (7 - 3 x)^{5} d x

\int a + x^{2} d x
