integral of (-3)/(x^3)

\int \frac{- 3}{x ^{3}} d x

\frac{3}{2 x ^{2}} + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{- 3}{x ^{3}} d x

Take the constant out:

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

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

Apply the Power Rule

= - 3 (- \frac{1}{2 x ^{2}})

Simplify

- 3 (- \frac{1}{2 x ^{2}}) : \frac{3}{2 x ^{2}}

= \frac{3}{2 x ^{2}}

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{3}{2 x ^{2}} + C
