Integration

[lean crane]

Not sure how to do this. I know how to take definite integrals without a calculator but I'm struggling to integrate that second term since the 3 is part of the denominator.

1/(3x^2) is the same as 1/3 times 1/x^2

@lean crane

[lean crane]

right

so to integrate that i can do x/3 * x^-1

im guessing

[buoyant flare]

well

if you integrate 3x do you get (3x)x^2 / 2

[lean crane]

no

you get x^3

[buoyant flare]

do you

[lean crane]

3x^2/2 im dumb

[buoyant flare]

point is the constant isnt part of the integrating

so for 1/3 times x^-2

you just deal with the x^-2

[lean crane]

right

useful to remember that

thx

[buoyant flare]

you can tidy constants after

nw

i just needed it simplified like that since i cant use graphical methods im guessing
