integral of (-1)/(4x)

\int \frac{- 1}{4 x} d x

- \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{- 1}{4 x} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{- 1}{4} \cdot \int \frac{1}{x} d x

Simplify

= (- \frac{1}{4}) \cdot \int \frac{1}{x} d x

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{x} d x = ln (∣ x ∣)

= (- \frac{1}{4}) ln ∣ x ∣

Simplify

= - \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x ∣ + C

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

\int \frac{( 4 - x ^{2} ) ^{3}}{3} d x

\int 6 x cos (7 x) d x

\int x [cosh^{2} (2 x^{2}) - sinh^{2} (2 x^{2})] d x

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