integral of 2/(x-4)

\int \frac{2}{x - 4} d x

2 ln ∣ x - 4 ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{2}{x - 4} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{1}{x - 4} d x

Apply u-substitution

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

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{1}{u} d u

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= 2 ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = x - 4

= 2 ln ∣ x - 4 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= 2 ln ∣ x - 4 ∣ + C

\int sec (5 x + 5) tan (5 x + 5) d x

\int sec^{2} (8 x) tan^{2} (8 x) d x

\int sin (20 x) d x

\int (3 x^{2} + 2 x) x^{3} + x^{2} d x

\int (3 cos (x)) d x
