integral of 1/(x-a)

Solution

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

Solution

ln ∣ x - a ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{x - a} 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 - a

= ln ∣ x - a ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= ln ∣ x - a ∣ + C
