integral of (1/(5x))

\int (\frac{1}{5 x}) d x

\frac{1}{5} ln ∣ x ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{5} \cdot \int \frac{1}{x} d x

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{x} d x = ln (∣ x ∣)

= \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ x ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ x ∣ + C
