integral of (2/x-x)^2

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

- \frac{4}{x} - 4 x + \frac{x ^{3}}{3} + C

Solution steps

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

Simplify

(\frac{2}{x} - x)^{2} : \frac{4}{x ^{2}} - 4 + x^{2}

= \int \frac{4}{x ^{2}} - 4 + 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{4}{x ^{2}} d x - \int 4 d x + \int x^{2} d x

\int \frac{4}{x ^{2}} d x = - \frac{4}{x}

\int 4 d x = 4 x

\int x^{2} d x = \frac{x ^{3}}{3}

= - \frac{4}{x} - 4 x + \frac{x ^{3}}{3}

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{4}{x} - 4 x + \frac{x ^{3}}{3} + C

\int \frac{7}{x ^{2}} - \frac{2}{x} d x

\int 8 x^{2} + 1 d x

\int \frac{x - 1}{x ^{\frac{2}{3}} + x ^{\frac{1}{3}} + 1} d x

\int (sec (4 x) - csc (\frac{2 x}{3})) d x

\int \frac{9 x ^{8} + 6}{( x ^{9} + 6 x ) ^{2}} d x
