Integral of 2/x dx with Steps

Integrate 2/x step by step with complete working. Factor out the constant multiple 2 and integrate 1/x to find the antiderivative 2·ln|x| + C.

Problem Statement
∫2x dx\int \frac{2}{x} \, dx
Final Result
F(x)=2⋅ln⁡∣x∣+CF(x) = 2 \cdot \ln|x| + C

Formula Required: Constant Multiple with Natural Log

Pull the constant 2 outside the integral: 2 ∫ (1/x) dx = 2 ln|x| + C.

∫kx dx=kln⁡∣x∣+C\int \frac{k}{x} \, dx = k \ln|x| + C

Step-by-Step Solution

2 Steps
1

Set up the indefinite integral with respect to variable $x$.
