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

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

ln (2) + \frac{3}{8}

Decimal Notation

1.06814 \dots

Solution steps

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

Expand

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

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

\int_{1}^{2} \frac{1}{x} d x = ln (2)

\int_{1}^{2} \frac{1}{x ^{3}} d x = \frac{3}{8}

= ln (2) + \frac{3}{8}

\int_{1}^{2} (5 x - 1) d x

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

\int_{- 1}^{1} (x^{2} + x + 2) d x

\int_{- 1}^{1} \frac{1 + x ^{2}}{1 + x ^{4}} d x

\int_{1}^{2} \frac{4 - x ^{2}}{x} d x
