Math Problem Statement

Integrate \( \int \frac{2x^4 - 3}{x^4} \, dx \). Choose the correct answer from the options.

Solution

To solve the integral 2x43x4dx\int \frac{2x^4 - 3}{x^4} \, dx:

Step 1: Simplify the expression

The integrand 2x43x4\frac{2x^4 - 3}{x^4} can be split as: 2x43x4=2x4x43x4=23x4.\frac{2x^4 - 3}{x^4} = \frac{2x^4}{x^4} - \frac{3}{x^4} = 2 - \frac{3}{x^4}.

Step 2: Rewrite the integral

The integral becomes: (23x4)dx=2dx3x4dx.\int \left( 2 - \frac{3}{x^4} \right) dx = \int 2 \, dx - \int \frac{3}{x^4} \, dx.

Step 3: Solve each part

  1. For 2dx\int 2 \, dx: 2dx=2x.\int 2 \, dx = 2x.

  2. For 3x4dx\int \frac{3}{x^4} \, dx: Rewrite 3x4\frac{3}{x^4} as 3x43x^{-4}. Then: 3x4dx=3x4+14+1=3x33=3x3.\int 3x^{-4} \, dx = 3 \cdot \frac{x^{-4+1}}{-4+1} = 3 \cdot \frac{x^{-3}}{-3} = -\frac{3}{x^3}.

Step 4: Combine results

Adding the results together: 2x43x4dx=2x3x3+C,\int \frac{2x^4 - 3}{x^4} \, dx = 2x - \frac{3}{x^3} + C, where CC is the constant of integration.

Final Answer:

The correct option is Ответ 2: 2x3x3+C2x - \frac{3}{x^3} + C.
