What is the integral of 1/((2x-5)^2) ?

The integral of 1/((2x-5)^2) is -1/(2(2x-5))+C

integral of 1/((2x-5)^2)

\int \frac{1}{( 2 x - 5 ) ^{2}} d x

- \frac{1}{2 ( 2 x - 5 )} + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{( 2 x - 5 ) ^{2}} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{1}{2 u ^{2}} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u ^{2}} d u

Apply the Power Rule

= \frac{1}{2} (- \frac{1}{u})

Substitute back

u = 2 x - 5

= \frac{1}{2} (- \frac{1}{2 x - 5})

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} (- \frac{1}{2 x - 5}) : - \frac{1}{2 ( 2 x - 5 )}

= - \frac{1}{2 ( 2 x - 5 )}

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{2 ( 2 x - 5 )} + C

\int 1 - cos^{3} (x) d x

\int cos (4 x) cos (- 3 x) d x

\int \frac{3}{( w - 3 ) 4 w ^{2} - 24 w + 20} d w

\int sin (4 x) sin (8 x) d x

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