integral from 1 to infinity of x^{-4}

\int_{1}^{\infty} x^{- 4} d x

\frac{1}{3}

Decimal

0.33333 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{1}^{\infty} x^{- 4} d x

Compute the indefinite integral:

\int x^{- 4} d x = - \frac{1}{3 x ^{3}} + C

Compute the boundaries:

\int_{1}^{\infty} x^{- 4} d x = 0 - (- \frac{1}{3})

= 0 - (- \frac{1}{3})

Simplify

= \frac{1}{3}
