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

integral

\frac{- 1}{x + 1}

- ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

= - \int \frac{1}{x + 1} 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 + 1

= - ln ∣ x + 1 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + C

2 x^{5}

x \cdot x^{2}

\frac{u ^{3}}{( u + 1 )}

(cos (x))^{2}

1 - y^{2}
