integral from 2 to 3 of-5/(x^2)

\int_{2}^{3} - \frac{5}{x ^{2}} d x

- \frac{5}{6}

Decimal

- 0.83333 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{2}^{3} - \frac{5}{x ^{2}} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= - 5 \cdot \int_{2}^{3} \frac{1}{x ^{2}} d x

Apply the Power Rule

= - 5 [- \frac{1}{x}]_{2}^{3}

Compute the boundaries:

\frac{1}{6}

= - 5 \cdot \frac{1}{6}

Simplify

= - \frac{5}{6}
