integral of 1/(1+ax)

\int \frac{1}{1 + a x} d x

\frac{1}{a} ln ∣ 1 + a x ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{1 + a x} d x

Apply u-substitution

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

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= \frac{1}{a} ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = 1 + a x

= \frac{1}{a} ln ∣ 1 + a x ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{a} ln ∣ 1 + a x ∣ + C

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

\int (3 x + 5)^{2} (3) d x

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} - 16 x} d x

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

\int 4 x - 2 d x
