How Do You Integrate y=10/x^2 to Find Area Under the Curve?

[dan greig]

I have a question asking me to find the area under a curve, the curve is,

y=10/x^2

I know the process to find the area but I can't find how to integrate the fraction, some help would be appreciated,

thanks, dan

Are you aware that $\int x^n dx= \frac{1}{n+1}x^{n+1}+ C$?

Are you aware that $\frac{1}{x^2}= x^{-2}$?
