I can't remember how to do this? I know it's kinda hard to explain online, but if someone can remind me how, that'd be sick.

(integral of) 1 / (x^2) dx
 
O yeah, that's right. But I still need to show my work. I am trying u substitution where u=x^2 but it just doesn't work out. What do I need to do?
 
For those of you who don't know how to do it, change it from 1/x^2 to x^-2, then integrate like regular, put it to the -1 and divide by -1, so it is (x^-1)/-1, or simply -1/x + C, your arbitrary constant, which isn't necessary if you have limits to integrate over.
