integral from 1 to 2 of ((5-x)/(x^3))

\int_{1}^{2} (\frac{5 - x}{x ^{3}}) d x

\frac{11}{8}

Decimal

1.375

Solution steps

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

Expand

\frac{5 - x}{x ^{3}} : \frac{5}{x ^{3}} - \frac{1}{x ^{2}}

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

\int_{1}^{2} \frac{5}{x ^{3}} d x = \frac{15}{8}

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

= \frac{15}{8} - \frac{1}{2}

Simplify

\frac{15}{8} - \frac{1}{2} : \frac{11}{8}

= \frac{11}{8}

\int_{a}^{\infty} \frac{1}{x ^{p}} d x

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

\int_{0}^{2 π} 2 cos^{2} (u) d u

\int_{0}^{8} \frac{x}{7 x + 2} d x

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