integral of ((x-1)^2)/(x^3)

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

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

Solution steps

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

Expand

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

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

\int \frac{1}{x} d x = ln ∣ x ∣

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

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

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

Simplify

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int (3 e^{- 0.1 x}) d x

\int e^{x} (e^{x} - 1)^{- 4} d x

\int (8 x + 23)^{- 2} d x

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

\int \frac{( 2 x ^{4} + 7 x ^{3} - x )}{x ^{3}} d x
