integral of (1/(4-x))

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

- ln ∣ 4 - x ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Apply u-substitution

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= - ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = 4 - x

= - ln ∣ 4 - x ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - ln ∣ 4 - x ∣ + C

\int 5 x sin (3 - 2 x) d x

\int n a^{c o s (b x)} sin (b x) d x

\int 9 x e^{- 4 x^{2}} d x

\int cot^{3} (2 t) d t

\int - 0.5 e^{- 0.01 x} d x
