Integral(x^(-2), (x, 0, 1))
Detail solution
  1. The integral of xnx^{n} is xn+1n+1\frac{x^{n + 1}}{n + 1} when n1n \neq -1:

    1x2dx=1x\int \frac{1}{x^{2}}\, dx = - \frac{1}{x}

  2. Add the constant of integration:

    1x+constant- \frac{1}{x}+ \mathrm{constant}


The answer is:

1x+constant- \frac{1}{x}+ \mathrm{constant}
