What is the integral of 2/(5-2x) ?

The integral of 2/(5-2x) is -ln|5-2x|+C

integral of 2/(5-2x)

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

- ln ∣ 5 - 2 x ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Apply u-substitution

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= 2 (- \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ u ∣)

Substitute back

u = 5 - 2 x

= 2 (- \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ 5 - 2 x ∣)

Simplify

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

= - ln ∣ 5 - 2 x ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - ln ∣ 5 - 2 x ∣ + C

\int sin (x) (tan (x) - cot (x))^{2} d x

\int 5 sec^{2} (2 x) d x

\int 6 sin^{2} (x) cos^{5} (x) d x

\int (4 x^{3} - 3 x^{2} + 1) ln (x) d x

\int \frac{3 x + 4}{( x + 1 ) ( x + 2 )} d x
