integral of-1/(x-2)

\int - \frac{1}{x - 2} d x

- ln ∣ x - 2 ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int - \frac{1}{x - 2} d x

Take the constant out:

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

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

Apply u-substitution

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

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

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= - ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = x - 2

= - ln ∣ x - 2 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - ln ∣ x - 2 ∣ + C

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

\int \frac{x ^{4} + 2 x ^{2} + 3}{x ^{3} - 4 x} d x

\int \frac{1}{x ^{3} - x ^{2} - x - 15} d x

\int x^{- 3} ln (- 5 x) d x

\int \frac{x ^{3} + x}{x ^{4} - 2 x ^{2} + 1} d x
