integral of (3x^4-x^3+6x^2)/(x^4)
Before integrating, let's calculate:
Let's factorize in :
You can write the expression in factored form:
We divide the numerator and denominator of by the common factor: , which gives the new quotient:
Let's integrate:
For ≠ 0, divide each numerator term by the power in the denominator:
ⅰ =
ⓘ The derivative of is , so is an antiderivative of : = ■The derivative of is , so is an antiderivative of : = ■A constant factor stays in front of the integral. An antiderivative of x^n is x^(n+1)/(n+1), for n ≠ -1: = = =
▶Indefinite integrals are defined up to an additive constant C , so this yields:
