integral from 1 to 4 of 8/(x^2)

\int_{1}^{4} \frac{8}{x ^{2}} d x

6

Solution steps

\int_{1}^{4} \frac{8}{x ^{2}} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= 8 \cdot \int_{1}^{4} \frac{1}{x ^{2}} d x

Apply the Power Rule

= 8 [- \frac{1}{x}]_{1}^{4}

Compute the boundaries:

\frac{3}{4}

= 8 \cdot \frac{3}{4}

Simplify

= 6
