What is the integral of 1/((2x-5)^3) ?

The integral of 1/((2x-5)^3) is -1/(4(2x-5)^2)+C

integral of 1/((2x-5)^3)

\int \frac{1}{( 2 x - 5 ) ^{3}} d x

- \frac{1}{4 ( 2 x - 5 ) ^{2}} + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{( 2 x - 5 ) ^{3}} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{1}{2 u ^{3}} 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 ^{3}} d u

Apply the Power Rule

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

Substitute back

u = 2 x - 5

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

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} (- \frac{1}{2 ( 2 x - 5 ) ^{2}}) : - \frac{1}{4 ( 2 x - 5 ) ^{2}}

= - \frac{1}{4 ( 2 x - 5 ) ^{2}}

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{4 ( 2 x - 5 ) ^{2}} + C

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

\int \frac{1}{cos ( y ) cot ( y )} d y

\int (3 t^{2} + \frac{t}{2}) d t

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

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