Learn how to solve definite integrals problems step by step online. Integrate the function -4/(x^2) from -1 to 0. Rewrite the exponent using the power rule \frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n}, where in this case m=0. The integral of a constant times a function is equal to the constant multiplied by the integral of the function. Apply the power rule for integration, \displaystyle\int x^n dx=\frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}, where n represents a number or constant function, such as -2. Simplify the expression.
