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 π t d t

\int \frac{x ^{6}}{1 + x} d x

\int \frac{1}{Y} d Y

\int \frac{1 + y}{1 - y} d y

\int 9 x + 7 d x
