   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   This problem asks for the coefficient $k$ in a given integral expression. We solve it by applying integration by parts to the left-hand side and comparing the resulting elementary term with the given form. The value of $k$ is $\boxed{-1}$.

   The problem asks us to find the value of $k$ given the equation $\int \frac{2^x}{x^2} dx = k \cdot 2^x \frac{1}{x} + C$. The integral $\int \frac{2^x}{x^2} dx$ is a non-elementary integral, meaning it cannot be expressed in terms of elementary functions (polynomials, exponentials, logarithms, trigonometric functions).

   In such problems, the given form $k \cdot 2^x \frac{1}{x} + C$ usually represents the elementary part obtained from a single application of integration by parts, with the remaining non-elementary integral implicitly absorbed or ignored for the purpose of finding $k$. Our strategy will be to perform integration by parts on the left-hand side and then compare the resulting elementary term with $k \cdot 2^x \frac{1}{x}$.

   1. Recall the Integration by Parts Formula:

      The integration by parts formula is given by:

      $\int u \, dv = uv - \int v \, du$

      The key is to choose $u$ and $dv$ such that $uv$ matches the desired form $k \cdot 2^x \frac{1}{x}$ and $\int v \, du$ is either simpler or the non-elementary part.

   2. Choose $u$ and $dv$ for the integral $\int \frac{2^x}{x^2} dx$:

      We have the integrand $\frac{2^x}{x^2} = 2^x \cdot x^{-2}$.

      To obtain a term like $2^x \frac{1}{x}$ in the $uv$ part, we should choose $dv$ such that $v$ involves $\frac{1}{x}$.

      Let's choose:

      • $dv = x^{-2} dx$
      • $u = 2^x$

      Now, we find $v$ and $du$:

      • $v = \int x^{-2} dx = -x^{-1} = -\frac{1}{x}$
      • $du = \frac{d}{dx}(2^x) dx = 2^x \log 2 \, dx$ (Recall that $\frac{d}{dx}(a^x) = a^x \log a$)

   3. Apply Integration by Parts:

      Substitute these into the formula $\int u \, dv = uv - \int v \, du$:

   $\int \frac{2^x}{x^2} dx = (2^x) \left(-\frac{1}{x}\right) - \int \left(-\frac{1}{x}\right) (2^x \log 2) dx$

   $\int \frac{2^x}{x^2} dx = -\frac{2^x}{x} - \int \left(-\frac{2^x \log 2}{x}\right) dx$

   $\int \frac{2^x}{x^2} dx = -\frac{2^x}{x} + \log 2 \int \frac{2^x}{x} dx$

   4. Compare with the given form: We are given that $\int \frac{2^x}{x^2} dx = k \cdot 2^x \frac{1}{x} + C$. From our integration by parts, we found:

   $\int \frac{2^x}{x^2} dx = -\frac{2^x}{x} + \log 2 \int \frac{2^x}{x} dx$
