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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{1}{u ^{2}} d u

= - 2 \cdot \int \frac{1}{u ^{2}} d u

Apply the Power Rule

: - \frac{1}{u}

= - 2 (- \frac{1}{u})

Substitute back

u = x - 2

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

Simplify

- 2 (- \frac{1}{x - 2}) : \frac{2}{x - 2}

= \frac{2}{x - 2}

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int 1 n x d x

\int \frac{4 x}{3 x ^{2} + 1} d x

\int x (7 x^{2} + 5)^{3} d x

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

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