Learn how to solve definite integrals problems step by step online. Integrate the function 2/(x^2) from 1 to infinity. Rewrite the exponent using the power rule \frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n}, where in this case m=0. The integral of a function times a constant (2) is equal to the constant times the integral of the function. Apply the power rule for integration, \displaystyle\int x^n dx=\frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}, where n represents a number or constant function, such as -2. Add the initial limits of integration.
