Homework Statement
\int \frac {2+z^{-1}}{z^{2}} dz
The Attempt at a Solution
Let:
u = 2 +z^{-1}
du = -z^{-2} dz
dz = -z^{2} du
so now its
\int \frac {u}{z^{2}} (-z^{2}) du
\int \frac {(u)(-z^{2})}{z^{2}} du
\int (u)(-1) du
and then the antiderivative of u*(-1) is
-\frac{1}{2}(2+z^{-1})^{2} + C
right? The answer in the book is:
-2z^{-1}-\frac{1}{2}z^{-2} + C
I don't see anywhere that I went wrong...
