Question
Evaluate the following integrals:
$\int\text{e}^{\text{x}}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}^2}-\frac{2}{\text{x}^3}\Big)\text{dx}$

Answer

$\text{I}=\int\text{e}^{\text{x}}\big(\text{x}^{-2}-2\text{x}^{-3}\big)\text{dx}$
$=\int\text{e}^{\text{x}}\text{x}^{-2}\text{dx}-2\int\text{e}^{\text{x}}\text{x}^{-3}\text{dx}$
Integration by parts
$=\text{e}^{\text{x}}\text{x}^{-2}-\int\text{e}^{\text{x}}\Big(\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\big(\text{x}^{-2}\big)\Big)\text{dx}-2\int\text{e}^{\text{x}}\text{x}^{-3}\text{dx}$
$=\text{e}^{\text{x}}\text{x}^{-2}+2\int\text{e}^{\text{x}}\text{x}^{-3}\text{dx}-2\int\text{e}^{\text{x}}\text{x}^{-3}\text{dx}$
$=\frac{\text{e}^{\text{x}}}{\text{x}^2}+\text{C}$
$\int\text{e}^{\text{x}}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}^2}-\frac{2}{\text{x}^3}\Big)\text{dx}=\frac{\text{e}^\text{x}}{\text{x}^2}+\text{C}$
