integral of 1/(xy)

integral

\frac{1}{x y}

\frac{1}{y} ln ∣ x ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{x y} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{y} \cdot \int \frac{1}{x} d x

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{x} d x = ln (∣ x ∣)

= \frac{1}{y} ln ∣ x ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{y} ln ∣ x ∣ + C
