integral of 2/(-x)

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

- 2 ln ∣ x ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Simplify

= (- 2) \cdot \int \frac{1}{x} d x

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{x} d x = ln (∣ x ∣)

= (- 2) ln ∣ x ∣

Simplify

= - 2 ln ∣ x ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - 2 ln ∣ x ∣ + C

\frac{d}{d x} (2 csc (2 x))

\frac{\partial}{\partial y} (sin (x \cdot y))

(2 x^{2} - 3)^{3}

y^{^{'}} + 2 y = 60, y (1) = 80
