integral of (x^2-2x)*x^{-3}

\int (x^{2} - 2 x) \cdot x^{- 3} d x

ln ∣ x ∣ + \frac{2}{x} + C

Solution steps

\int (x^{2} - 2 x) x^{- 3} d x

Simplify

(x^{2} - 2 x) x^{- 3} : \frac{x - 2}{x ^{2}}

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

Expand

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

= \int \frac{1}{x} - \frac{2}{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 \frac{1}{x} d x - \int \frac{2}{x ^{2}} d x

\int \frac{1}{x} d x = ln ∣ x ∣

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

= ln ∣ x ∣ - (- \frac{2}{x})

Simplify

= ln ∣ x ∣ + \frac{2}{x}

Add a constant to the solution

= ln ∣ x ∣ + \frac{2}{x} + C

\int tan (x) \frac{1}{x} d x

\int - 5 x cos (9 x) d x

\int \frac{5 x ^{2}}{( 196 + x ^{2} ) ^{2}} d x

\int x^{2} \cdot 1 0^{x^{3}} d x

\int \frac{sec ( x ) tan ( x )}{a + b sec ( x )} d x
