-1 / | | 1 | ------------ dx | 3/2 | (1 - 2*x) | / -2
Integral(1/((1 - 2*x)^(3/2)), (x, -2, -1))
There are multiple ways to do this integral.
Rewrite the integrand:
The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
Let .
Then let and substitute :
The integral of is when :
Now substitute back in:
So, the result is:
