Math Problem Statement
Solution
To find the antiderivative of the expression
we first simplify it by dividing each term in the numerator by :
Now we find the antiderivative of each term separately with respect to :
-
For :
-
For :
Therefore, the antiderivative of the expression is:
where is the constant of integration.

Here are five related questions to deepen your understanding:
- How would the approach change if we were finding a definite integral over a specific interval?
- What are the rules for integrating functions with negative exponents?
- How would we handle integration if additional terms were added to the numerator?
- Why do we include an absolute value around when integrating ?
- How can we verify that this antiderivative is correct by differentiation?
Tip: Always simplify expressions as much as possible before integrating to avoid complex calculations.

Formulas
Power rule for antiderivatives: \(\int x^n \, dx = \frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1} + C\) for \(n \neq -1\)
Logarithmic rule for antiderivatives: \(\int \frac{1}{x} \, dx = \ln |x| + C\)
