integral of ax^{-1}

\int a x^{- 1} d x

a ln ∣ x ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int a x^{- 1} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= a \cdot \int x^{- 1} d x

Use the common integral:

\int x^{- 1} d x = ln (∣ x ∣)

= a ln ∣ x ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= a ln ∣ x ∣ + C

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

\int \frac{2}{x ( x + 1 )} d x

\int sin (3 - 2 x) d x

\int \frac{x ^{3}}{1 + 3 1 + x ^{4}} d x

\int \frac{sin ( x )}{3 - 2 cos ( x )} d x
