integral of 3/(2+3x)

\int \frac{3}{2 + 3 x} d x

ln ∣ 2 + 3 x ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{3}{2 + 3 x} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= 3 \cdot \int \frac{1}{2 + 3 x} d x

Apply u-substitution

= 3 \cdot \int \frac{1}{3 u} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= 3 \cdot \frac{1}{3} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u} d u

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= 3 \cdot \frac{1}{3} ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = 2 + 3 x

= 3 \cdot \frac{1}{3} ln ∣ 2 + 3 x ∣

Simplify

3 \cdot \frac{1}{3} ln ∣ 2 + 3 x ∣ : ln ∣ 2 + 3 x ∣

= ln ∣ 2 + 3 x ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= ln ∣ 2 + 3 x ∣ + C
