\int \frac{1}{x^{2}}\mathrm{d}x
Evaluate the indefinite integral first.
-\frac{1}{x}
Since \int x^{k}\mathrm{d}x=\frac{x^{k+1}}{k+1} for k\neq -1, replace \int \frac{1}{x^{2}}\mathrm{d}x with -\frac{1}{x}.
-1^{-1}+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{-1}
The definite integral is the antiderivative of the expression evaluated at the upper limit of integration minus the antiderivative evaluated at the lower limit of integration.
