Integral of 1 x 2

To find the integral of 1 x 2 which written with math symbols means \int \dfrac{1}{x^2}dx let’s use the power rule. First, let’s rewrite the integral

    \[\int \dfrac{1}{x^2}dx= \int x^{-2}dx.\]

Next, apply the power rule to get

    \[\dfrac{x^{-1}}{-1}+C=-\dfrac{1}{x}+C.\]

Integration is a fundamental concept in calculus, representing the process of finding the area under a curve on a graph. It’s akin to summing up an infinite number of infinitesimally small pieces to find a whole. This process is not just a mathematical exercise but a tool that enables us to solve real-world problems ranging from calculating areas and volumes to solving complex equations in physics and engineering.
