integral of (2/x)

\int (\frac{2}{x}) d x

2 ln ∣ x ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{x} d x = ln (∣ x ∣)

= 2 ln ∣ x ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= 2 ln ∣ x ∣ + C
