Answer
The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus does not apply (for step 1).
Work Step by Step
Th.4.9 The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
If a function $f$ is CONTINUOUS on the closed interval $[a, b]$ and $F$ is an antiderivative of $f$ on the interval $[a, b]$, then
$\displaystyle \int_{\mathit{0}}^{b}f(x)dx=F(b)-F(a)$.
-------------
We may apply the FTC when $f(x)=\displaystyle \frac{2}{x^{3}} $ is continuous on the closed interval $[a, b]$
$f(x)=\displaystyle \frac{2}{x^{3}}$ is not continuous on $[-2, 1 ].$
It has a nonremovable discontinuity at $x=0$.
So, the first step is not allowed, as the theorem does not apply here.
