integral of (2/(x^4))

\int (\frac{2}{x ^{4}}) d x

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

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{1}{x ^{4}} d x

Apply the Power Rule

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

Simplify

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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