integral of (3x+1)^{-2}

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

- \frac{1}{3 ( 3 x + 1 )} + C

Solution steps

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

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{1}{3 u ^{2}} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{3} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u ^{2}} d u

Apply the Power Rule

= \frac{1}{3} (- \frac{1}{u})

Substitute back

u = 3 x + 1

= \frac{1}{3} (- \frac{1}{3 x + 1})

Simplify

\frac{1}{3} (- \frac{1}{3 x + 1}) : - \frac{1}{3 ( 3 x + 1 )}

= - \frac{1}{3 ( 3 x + 1 )}

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{3 ( 3 x + 1 )} + C
