integral of 1/2 x^{-1}

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

\frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int x^{- 1} d x

Use the common integral:

\int x^{- 1} d x = ln (∣ x ∣)

= \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x ∣ + C

\int cot^{7} (\frac{x}{4}) csc^{2} (\frac{x}{4}) d x

\int x^{8} d x

\int \frac{3 x ^{2} - 7 x + 4}{x} d x

\int \frac{7}{2} - x d x

\int \frac{5}{x x + 1} d x
