Homework Statement
find the antiderivative of 1/(x^2)
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm pretty sure you just find the antiderivatives of the numerator and the denominator.
the antiderivative of 1 is x.
the antiderivative of x^2 is (x^3)/3
mutliply the numerator by the inverse of the deominator and you get 3/(x^2)
The book says the answer is -1/x
