integral of-x^{-2}

Solution

integral

- x^{- 2}

Solution

\frac{1}{x} + C

Solution steps

\int - x^{- 2} d x

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= - \int x^{- 2} d x

Apply the Power Rule

: - \frac{1}{x}

= - (- \frac{1}{x})

Simplify

= \frac{1}{x}

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{x} + C
