integral of (2x)/(2x+3)

\int \frac{2 x}{2 x + 3} d x

x + \frac{3}{2} - \frac{3}{2} ln ∣ 2 x + 3 ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{2 x}{2 x + 3} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{x}{2 x + 3} d x

Apply u-substitution

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{u - 3}{4 u} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{4} \cdot \int \frac{u - 3}{u} d u

Expand

\frac{u - 3}{u} : 1 - \frac{3}{u}

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{4} \cdot \int 1 - \frac{3}{u} d u

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{4} (\int 1 d u - \int \frac{3}{u} d u)

\int 1 d u = u

\int \frac{3}{u} d u = 3 ln ∣ u ∣

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{4} (u - 3 ln ∣ u ∣)

Substitute back

u = 2 x + 3

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{4} (2 x + 3 - 3 ln ∣ 2 x + 3 ∣)

Simplify

2 \cdot \frac{1}{4} (2 x + 3 - 3 ln ∣ 2 x + 3 ∣) : x + \frac{3}{2} - \frac{3}{2} ln ∣ 2 x + 3 ∣

= x + \frac{3}{2} - \frac{3}{2} ln ∣ 2 x + 3 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= x + \frac{3}{2} - \frac{3}{2} ln ∣ 2 x + 3 ∣ + C
