integral of (-4)/(x^2)

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

\frac{4}{x} + C

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Apply the Power Rule

= - 4 (- \frac{1}{x})

Simplify

- 4 (- \frac{1}{x}) : \frac{4}{x}

= \frac{4}{x}

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{4}{x} + C
