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

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

\frac{5}{6}

Decimal Notation

0.83333 \dots

Solution steps

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

Expand

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

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

\int_{\frac{1}{2}}^{3} 1 d x = \frac{5}{2}

\int_{\frac{1}{2}}^{3} \frac{1}{x ^{2}} d x = \frac{5}{3}

= \frac{5}{2} - \frac{5}{3}

Simplify

\frac{5}{2} - \frac{5}{3} : \frac{5}{6}

= \frac{5}{6}

\int_{- 9}^{9} (81 - x^{2}) d x

\int_{0}^{1} arctan (y) d y

\int_{0}^{1} 8 x (x^{2} + 1)^{3} d x

\int_{2}^{7} x x + 2 d x

\int_{0}^{3} x^{2} + 1 d x
