integral of 4/((x+1))

\int \frac{4}{( x + 1 )} d x

4 ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Apply u-substitution

= 4 \cdot \int \frac{1}{u} d u

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= 4 ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = x + 1

= 4 ln ∣ x + 1 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= 4 ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + C
