Integrate using the
#color(blue)"power rule for integration"#
#color(orange)"Reminder " color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(int(ax^n)dx=a/(n+1)x^(n+1))color(white)(2/2)|)))# Express
#1/x^5=x^-5#
#rArrintx^-5dx=1/(-5+1)x^(-5+1)+c#
#=-1/4x^-4+c=-1/(4x^4)+c# where c is the constant of integration.
