integral of-2x^{-1}

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

- 2 ln ∣ x ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Use the common integral:

\int x^{- 1} d x = ln (∣ x ∣)

= - 2 ln ∣ x ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - 2 ln ∣ x ∣ + C

\int (\frac{e ^{x}}{3} + 2 x) d x

\int tan^{5} (x) \cdot sec^{3} (x) d x

\frac{d y}{d x} = - 4^{- 2} - y^{- 1} + y^{- 1} + y

y^{^{''}} - \frac{3}{x} y^{^{'}} - \frac{12}{x ^{2}} y = 4 x^{2}

\int \frac{1}{x 36 x ^{2} - 1} d x
