∫01(−1x2) dx\int\limits_{0}^{1} \left(- \frac{1}{x^{2}}\right)\, dx 
Integral(-1/x^2, (x, 0, 1))
Detail solution

  1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:

    ∫(−1x2) dx=−∫1x2 dx\int \left(- \frac{1}{x^{2}}\right)\, dx = - \int \frac{1}{x^{2}}\, dx

      PiecewiseRule(subfunctions=[(ArctanRule(a=1, b=1, c=0, context=1/(x**2), symbol=x), False), (ArccothRule(a=1, b=1, c=0, context=1/(x**2), symbol=x), False), (ArctanhRule(a=1, b=1, c=0, context=1/(x**2), symbol=x), False)], context=1/(x**2), symbol=x)

    So, the result is: NaN\text{NaN}

  2. Add the constant of integration:

    NaN+constant\text{NaN}+ \mathrm{constant}

The answer is:

NaN+constant\text{NaN}+ \mathrm{constant}
