integral of 1/(-4x)

\int \frac{1}{- 4 x} d x

- \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{- 4 x} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{- 4} \cdot \int \frac{1}{x} d x

Simplify

= (- \frac{1}{4}) \cdot \int \frac{1}{x} d x

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{x} d x = ln (∣ x ∣)

= (- \frac{1}{4}) ln ∣ x ∣

Simplify

= - \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x ∣ + C

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

\int \frac{x ^{\frac{3}{2}} - x ^{\frac{1}{3}}}{6 x ^{\frac{1}{4}}} d x

\int (9 x^{2} - \frac{3}{x ^{2}}) d x

\int e^{l n (3 c o s (x))} d x

\int \frac{3}{1 + 9 y ^{2}} d y
