integral of (x-1)/(x^2)

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

ln ∣ x ∣ + \frac{1}{x} + C

Solution steps

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

Expand

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

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

\int \frac{1}{x} d x = ln ∣ x ∣

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

= ln ∣ x ∣ - (- \frac{1}{x})

Simplify

= ln ∣ x ∣ + \frac{1}{x}

Add a constant to the solution

= ln ∣ x ∣ + \frac{1}{x} + C

\int \frac{9}{x ( x ^{4} + 2 )} d x

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (x sin (x) + y sin (y))

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} ((x^{p (x, y)} + y^{p (x, y)})^{\frac{1}{p ( x , y )}})

\int_{- 2}^{3} \frac{50}{x ^{4}} d x

\int x sin (k w x) d x
