integral from 1/2 to 2 of (5-5/(x^2))

\int_{\frac{1}{2}}^{2} (5 - \frac{5}{x ^{2}}) d x

0

Solution steps

\int_{\frac{1}{2}}^{2} 5 - \frac{5}{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_{\frac{1}{2}}^{2} 5 d x - \int_{\frac{1}{2}}^{2} \frac{5}{x ^{2}} d x

\int_{\frac{1}{2}}^{2} 5 d x = \frac{15}{2}

\int_{\frac{1}{2}}^{2} \frac{5}{x ^{2}} d x = \frac{15}{2}

= \frac{15}{2} - \frac{15}{2}

Simplify

= 0
