Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{x^2}{2}+\frac{1}{x}+c\), where \(c\) is constant of integration

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\int \left( \frac{x^3}{x^2} - \frac{1}{x^2} \right) dx\) \(\int \left( x - x^{-2} \right) dx\) \(\frac{x^{1+1}}{1+1} - \frac{x^{-2+1}}{-2+1} + c\) \(\frac{x^2}{2} - \frac{x^{-1}}{-1} + c\) \(\frac{x^2}{2} + \frac{1}{x} + c\)
