integral of 1/(x^2)sin(2/x)

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

\frac{1}{2} cos (\frac{2}{x}) + C

Solution steps

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

Simplify

\frac{1}{x ^{2}} sin (\frac{2}{x}) : \frac{sin ( \frac{2}{x} )}{x ^{2}}

= \int \frac{sin ( \frac{2}{x} )}{x ^{2}} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int - \frac{sin ( u )}{2} 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 sin (u) d u

Use the common integral:

\int sin (u) d u = - cos (u)

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

Substitute back

u = \frac{2}{x}

= - \frac{1}{2} (- cos (\frac{2}{x}))

Simplify

= \frac{1}{2} cos (\frac{2}{x})

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{2} cos (\frac{2}{x}) + C
