integral of 1/(a-bx)

\int \frac{1}{a - b x} d x

- \frac{1}{b} ln ∣ a - b x ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{a - b x} d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int - \frac{1}{b u} d u

= \int - \frac{1}{b u} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= - \frac{1}{b} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u} d u

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= - \frac{1}{b} ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = a - b x

= - \frac{1}{b} ln ∣ a - b x ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{b} ln ∣ a - b x ∣ + C

\int \frac{1}{x ^{3} x ^{2} - 36} d x

y^{^{'}} sin (5 π x) = π y cos (5 π x)

\frac{d}{d x} (2000)

y^{^{''}} + 4 y = cos (2 t)

\int t (t^{2} + 1)^{3} d t
