What is the integral of (3x+5)^{-2} ?

The integral of (3x+5)^{-2} is -1/(3(3x+5))+C

integral of (3x+5)^{-2}

\int (3 x + 5)^{- 2} d x

- \frac{1}{3 ( 3 x + 5 )} + C

Solution steps

\int (3 x + 5)^{- 2} d x

Apply exponent rule:

a^{- b} = \frac{1}{a ^{b}}

= \int \frac{1}{( 3 x + 5 ) ^{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 + 5

= \frac{1}{3} (- \frac{1}{3 x + 5})

Simplify

\frac{1}{3} (- \frac{1}{3 x + 5}) : - \frac{1}{3 ( 3 x + 5 )}

= - \frac{1}{3 ( 3 x + 5 )}

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{3 ( 3 x + 5 )} + C

\int e^{x} + 4 π - x^{e} d x

\int \frac{1}{3} sin (x) - \frac{1}{4} cos (x) d x

\int z^{2} + 1 d z

\int 18 x e^{3 x^{2}} d x

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