integral from 1 to 2 of (x^4+1)/(x^2)

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

\frac{17}{6}

Decimal

2.83333 \dots

Solution steps

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

Expand

\frac{x ^{4} + 1}{x ^{2}} : x^{2} + \frac{1}{x ^{2}}

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

\int_{1}^{2} x^{2} d x = \frac{7}{3}

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

= \frac{7}{3} + \frac{1}{2}

Simplify

\frac{7}{3} + \frac{1}{2} : \frac{17}{6}

= \frac{17}{6}

\int_{0}^{0.5} e^{2 x^{2}} d x

\int_{8}^{9} e^{8 - x} d x

\int_{- \frac{π}{2}}^{\frac{π}{2}} 4 x sin (x^{2}) d x

\int_{0}^{0} 36 - x^{2} d x

\int_{- 1}^{2} (x^{4} - x^{5}) d x
