integral of 5/(2-4x)

\int \frac{5}{2 - 4 x} d x

- \frac{5}{4} ln ∣ 2 - 4 x ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{5}{2 - 4 x} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= 5 \cdot \int \frac{1}{2 - 4 x} d x

Apply u-substitution

= 5 \cdot \int - \frac{1}{4 u} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= 5 (- \frac{1}{4} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u} d u)

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= 5 (- \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ u ∣)

Substitute back

u = 2 - 4 x

= 5 (- \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ 2 - 4 x ∣)

Simplify

5 (- \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ 2 - 4 x ∣) : - \frac{5}{4} ln ∣ 2 - 4 x ∣

= - \frac{5}{4} ln ∣ 2 - 4 x ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{5}{4} ln ∣ 2 - 4 x ∣ + C
