Question
**Evaluate the Integral**

Evaluate the integral:

\[
\int_{1}^{4} \left(\frac{1}{x^2} - \frac{8}{x^3}\right) \, dx
\]

[**Blank Box for Solution**]

**Explanation:**
The integral presented here involves evaluating \(\int_{1}^{4} \left(\frac{1}{x^2} - \frac{8}{x^3}\right) dx\), where the function inside the integral consists of two terms: \(\frac{1}{x^2}\) and \(\frac{8}{x^3}\).

The limits of integration are from \(x = 1\) to \(x = 4\).

To solve this, you will integrate each term separately over the interval from 1 to 4 and subtract the results.
