integral of (-3/x)

\int (- \frac{3}{x}) d x

- 3 ln ∣ x ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int - \frac{3}{x} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= - 3 \cdot \int \frac{1}{x} d x

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{x} d x = ln (∣ x ∣)

= - 3 ln ∣ x ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - 3 ln ∣ x ∣ + C
