integral of (2x-1/(8x))^2

\int (2 x - \frac{1}{8 x})^{2} d x

\frac{4 x ^{3}}{3} - \frac{1}{2} x - \frac{1}{64 x} + C

Solution steps

\int (2 x - \frac{1}{8 x})^{2} d x

Expand

(2 x - \frac{1}{8 x})^{2} : 4 x^{2} - \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{64 x ^{2}}

= \int 4 x^{2} - \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{64 x ^{2}} 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 4 x^{2} d x - \int \frac{1}{2} d x + \int \frac{1}{64 x ^{2}} d x

\int 4 x^{2} d x = \frac{4 x ^{3}}{3}

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

\int \frac{1}{64 x ^{2}} d x = - \frac{1}{64 x}

= \frac{4 x ^{3}}{3} - \frac{1}{2} x - \frac{1}{64 x}

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{4 x ^{3}}{3} - \frac{1}{2} x - \frac{1}{64 x} + C
