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

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

- \frac{1}{2 ( x - 2 ) ^{2}} + C

Solution steps

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

Apply exponent rule:

a^{- b} = \frac{1}{a ^{b}}

= \int \frac{1}{( x - 2 ) ^{3}} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{1}{u ^{3}} d u

Apply the Power Rule

= - \frac{1}{2 u ^{2}}

Substitute back

u = x - 2

= - \frac{1}{2 ( x - 2 ) ^{2}}

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{2 ( x - 2 ) ^{2}} + C

\frac{\partial}{\partial y} (2)

l a pl a ce t r an s f or m - 5 cos (5 t)

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

t an g e n t f (x) = x + 5, at x = 4

(2 x - y) d x + (2 y - x) d y = 0
