What is the integral of 1/x^2?

[BamBam215]

i feel so ashamed that i can't remember but i took calculus so long ago. is it simply ln(x^2)?

integral of (1/x)^2?...lol i'm too lazy to solve it but you do it via "integration by part" good luck

no, not quantity square. just one over x-squared. or 1/(x^2)

-1/x + C

Lol you realize that's the same thing right?

Isn't it.... - 1 / X

pi

 

[FoBoT]

42?

 

[Furyline]

think of it as x^-2...

 

[BigJ]

Well considering 1/x^2 is the same as x^(-2), you add one to the power and bring the power to the front, but flip it. So therefore its "-x^(-1) or -1/x" + C

hahah noobs

FOLKS:

(1/x)^2 = 1/(x^2)

^ LOL

 

[KnickNut3]

(1/x)^2 = 1/(x^2) = x^(-2)???

Wow....

 

[DWW]

-1/x + c is right

yllus wins!

 

[Mo0o]

rofl, this one is easy, the "hard" one is suppose to be 1/x yeah yllus got it.

Wow....

Here

Edit: Oh, don't forget the +C part to solving integrals.

webmathematica is your friend... I've put some NASTY things into that site and it's given me integrals... like

Int(e^-(arctan(x^sin(csc(x^2 - 2 ln(cot(x))))))) except it goes on like that for about 5 times as long... and it's found the integral for me.
