What is the integral of ((x+1)/(x^3)) ?

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

integral of ((x+1)/(x^3))

\int (\frac{x + 1}{x ^{3}}) d x

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

Solution steps

\int \frac{x + 1}{x ^{3}} d x

Expand

\frac{x + 1}{x ^{3}} : \frac{1}{x ^{2}} + \frac{1}{x ^{3}}

= \int \frac{1}{x ^{2}} + \frac{1}{x ^{3}} 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 ^{2}} d x + \int \frac{1}{x ^{3}} d x

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

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int \frac{- 4}{x} - \frac{4}{x ^{2}} d x

\int x (1 + \frac{1}{3 x}) d x

\int cos (x) sin (x) e^{s i n (x)} d x

\int \frac{1}{1 + 4 x} d x

\int \frac{1}{x ^{\frac{7}{4}}} d x
