integral of (-2)/(x-1)

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

- 2 ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

= - 2 ln ∣ x - 1 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - 2 ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ + C

\int cos (n \frac{π}{2} t) d t

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

\int cos^{4} (y) d y

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

\int \frac{5}{4 x + 3} d x
