integral of (7x+6)^{-2}

\int (7 x + 6)^{- 2} d x

- \frac{1}{7 ( 7 x + 6 )} + C

Solution steps

\int (7 x + 6)^{- 2} d x

Apply exponent rule:

a^{- b} = \frac{1}{a ^{b}}

= \int \frac{1}{( 7 x + 6 ) ^{2}} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{1}{7 u ^{2}} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{7} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u ^{2}} d u

Apply the Power Rule

= \frac{1}{7} (- \frac{1}{u})

Substitute back

u = 7 x + 6

= \frac{1}{7} (- \frac{1}{7 x + 6})

Simplify

\frac{1}{7} (- \frac{1}{7 x + 6}) : - \frac{1}{7 ( 7 x + 6 )}

= - \frac{1}{7 ( 7 x + 6 )}

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{7 ( 7 x + 6 )} + C
