integral of 1/((x-a))

integral

\frac{1}{( x - a )}

ln ∣ x - a ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Apply u-substitution

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

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = x - a

= ln ∣ x - a ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= ln ∣ x - a ∣ + C

in t e g r a l \frac{8 x}{( x ^{4} + 1 )}

in t e g r a l \frac{1}{( 1 + x ^{2} ) ^{3}}

in t e g r a l csc^{4} (x)

in t e g r a l \frac{x ^{3}}{( x ^{2} + 1 )}

in t e g r a l \frac{x ^{2}}{( 1 - x ^{2} ) ^{2}}
