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

integral

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

- \frac{1}{x} - ln ∣ x ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1 - x}{x ^{2}} d x

Expand

\frac{1 - x}{x ^{2}} : \frac{1}{x ^{2}} - \frac{1}{x}

= \int \frac{1}{x ^{2}} - \frac{1}{x} 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}{x ^{2}} d x - \int \frac{1}{x} d x

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2}} d x = - \frac{1}{x}

\int \frac{1}{x} d x = ln ∣ x ∣

= - \frac{1}{x} - ln ∣ x ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{x} - ln ∣ x ∣ + C
