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

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

3 ln ∣ x ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Simplify

\frac{x ^{2}}{x ^{3}} : \frac{1}{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
