Question
Find the integral: $\int\left(\sqrt{x}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\right)^{2} d x$

Answer

$\int\left(\sqrt{x}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\right)^{2} d x$ 
= $\int\left(x+\frac{1}{x}-2\right) d x$ 
= $\int x d x+\int \frac{1}{x} d x-2 \int 1 d x$ 
Now we know that,
$^{\int x^{n} d x}=\frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}+c$ 
Therefore,
$\int x d x+\int \frac{1}{x} d x-2 \int 1 d x$ = $\frac{x^{2}}{2}+\log |x|-2 x+C$
