integral of (-1/y)

\int (- \frac{1}{y}) d y

- ln ∣ y ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{y} d y = ln (∣ y ∣)

= - ln ∣ y ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - ln ∣ y ∣ + C

\int (4 x^{2} + 7 + \frac{2}{x ^{2} + 1}) d x

\int 2 x \cdot (x^{2} + 1)^{5} d x

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

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

\int \frac{1}{60} d t
