Chapter 7 - Integration - 7.2 Substitution - 7.2 Exercises - Page 375: 7

Answer

\[ = -\dfrac{1}{3} (x^2+2x-4)^{-3}+C \]

Work Step by Step

In order to integrate this function, we have to use an «u» substitution. Choose an u, derivate it: $ u = x^2+2x-4$ $ du = 2x+2$ Then substitute: \[ = \int \dfrac{du}{u^4} = \int u^{-4} \] Then integrate \[ = -\dfrac{1}{3} u^{-3}+C \] And undo the substitution: \[ = \boxed{-\dfrac{1}{3} (x^2+2x-4)^{-3}+C} \]
