integral of x/(x-4)

Solution

\int \frac{x}{x - 4} d x

Solution

x - 4 + 4 ln ∣ x - 4 ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{x}{x - 4} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{u + 4}{u} d u

Expand

\frac{u + 4}{u} : 1 + \frac{4}{u}

= \int 1 + \frac{4}{u} d u

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= \int 1 d u + \int \frac{4}{u} d u

\int 1 d u = u

\int \frac{4}{u} d u = 4 ln ∣ u ∣

= u + 4 ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = x - 4

= x - 4 + 4 ln ∣ x - 4 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= x - 4 + 4 ln ∣ x - 4 ∣ + C
