integral of 1/(sqrt(5-2x))

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

- 5 - 2 x + C

Solution steps

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

Apply u-substitution

= \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

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

Apply the Power Rule

= - \frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 u^{\frac{1}{2}}

Substitute back

u = 5 - 2 x

= - \frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 (5 - 2 x)^{\frac{1}{2}}

Simplify

- \frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 (5 - 2 x)^{\frac{1}{2}} : - 5 - 2 x

= - 5 - 2 x

Add a constant to the solution

= - 5 - 2 x + C
