integral of 2/(20-x)

\int \frac{2}{20 - x} d x

- 2 ln ∣ 20 - x ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{2}{20 - x} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{1}{20 - x} d x

Apply u-substitution

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

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= 2 (- ln ∣ u ∣)

Substitute back

u = 20 - x

= 2 (- ln ∣ 20 - x ∣)

Simplify

= - 2 ln ∣ 20 - x ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - 2 ln ∣ 20 - x ∣ + C

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

\int (cos (\frac{x}{2}))^{6} d x

(\frac{ln ( t )}{t})^{2}

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

\int x^{3} \cdot cos (4 x) d x
