Your Input

Find $$$\int \left(- \frac{4}{x} + \frac{3}{x^{21}}\right)\, dx$$$.

Solution

Integrate term by term:

$${\color{red}{\int{\left(- \frac{4}{x} + \frac{3}{x^{21}}\right)d x}}} = {\color{red}{\left(\int{\frac{3}{x^{21}} d x} - \int{\frac{4}{x} d x}\right)}}$$

Apply the constant multiple rule $$$\int c f{\left(x \right)}\, dx = c \int f{\left(x \right)}\, dx$$$ with $$$c=4$$$ and $$$f{\left(x \right)} = \frac{1}{x}$$$:

$$\int{\frac{3}{x^{21}} d x} - {\color{red}{\int{\frac{4}{x} d x}}} = \int{\frac{3}{x^{21}} d x} - {\color{red}{\left(4 \int{\frac{1}{x} d x}\right)}}$$

The integral of $$$\frac{1}{x}$$$ is $$$\int{\frac{1}{x} d x} = \ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)}$$$:

$$\int{\frac{3}{x^{21}} d x} - 4 {\color{red}{\int{\frac{1}{x} d x}}} = \int{\frac{3}{x^{21}} d x} - 4 {\color{red}{\ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)}}}$$

Apply the constant multiple rule $$$\int c f{\left(x \right)}\, dx = c \int f{\left(x \right)}\, dx$$$ with $$$c=3$$$ and $$$f{\left(x \right)} = \frac{1}{x^{21}}$$$:

$$- 4 \ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)} + {\color{red}{\int{\frac{3}{x^{21}} d x}}} = - 4 \ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)} + {\color{red}{\left(3 \int{\frac{1}{x^{21}} d x}\right)}}$$

Apply the power rule $$$\int x^{n}\, dx = \frac{x^{n + 1}}{n + 1}$$$ $$$\left(n \neq -1 \right)$$$ with $$$n=-21$$$:

$$- 4 \ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)} + 3 {\color{red}{\int{\frac{1}{x^{21}} d x}}}=- 4 \ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)} + 3 {\color{red}{\int{x^{-21} d x}}}=- 4 \ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)} + 3 {\color{red}{\frac{x^{-21 + 1}}{-21 + 1}}}=- 4 \ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)} + 3 {\color{red}{\left(- \frac{x^{-20}}{20}\right)}}=- 4 \ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)} + 3 {\color{red}{\left(- \frac{1}{20 x^{20}}\right)}}$$

Therefore,

$$\int{\left(- \frac{4}{x} + \frac{3}{x^{21}}\right)d x} = - 4 \ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)} - \frac{3}{20 x^{20}}$$

Add the constant of integration:

$$\int{\left(- \frac{4}{x} + \frac{3}{x^{21}}\right)d x} = - 4 \ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)} - \frac{3}{20 x^{20}}+C$$

Answer

$$$\int \left(- \frac{4}{x} + \frac{3}{x^{21}}\right)\, dx = \left(- 4 \ln\left(\left|{x}\right|\right) - \frac{3}{20 x^{20}}\right) + C$$$A
