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

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

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

Decimal

2.19314 \dots

Solution steps

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

\int_{1}^{2} 1 d x = 1

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

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

= 1 + ln (2) + \frac{1}{2}

Combine the fractions

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

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

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

\int_{- 3}^{4} 25 - x^{2} d x

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

\int_{1}^{5} 3 x^{2} + 7 x d x

\int_{1}^{2} t e^{- s t} d t
