integral of 2/(x^2)

Solution

integral

\frac{2}{x ^{2}}

Solution

- \frac{2}{x} + C

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Apply the Power Rule

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

Simplify

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

= - \frac{2}{x}

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{2}{x} + C
