Integral of $$$\frac{9}{5 - 4 x}$$$

Find $$$\int \frac{9}{5 - 4 x}\, dx$$$.

Apply the constant multiple rule $$$\int c f{\left(x \right)}\, dx = c \int f{\left(x \right)}\, dx$$$ with $$$c=9$$$ and $$$f{\left(x \right)} = \frac{1}{5 - 4 x}$$$:

$${\color{red}{\int{\frac{9}{5 - 4 x} d x}}} = {\color{red}{\left(9 \int{\frac{1}{5 - 4 x} d x}\right)}}$$

Let $$$u=5 - 4 x$$$.

Then $$$du=\left(5 - 4 x\right)^{\prime }dx = - 4 dx$$$ (steps can be seen »), and we have that $$$dx = - \frac{du}{4}$$$.

Thus,

$$9 {\color{red}{\int{\frac{1}{5 - 4 x} d x}}} = 9 {\color{red}{\int{\left(- \frac{1}{4 u}\right)d u}}}$$

Apply the constant multiple rule $$$\int c f{\left(u \right)}\, du = c \int f{\left(u \right)}\, du$$$ with $$$c=- \frac{1}{4}$$$ and $$$f{\left(u \right)} = \frac{1}{u}$$$:

$$9 {\color{red}{\int{\left(- \frac{1}{4 u}\right)d u}}} = 9 {\color{red}{\left(- \frac{\int{\frac{1}{u} d u}}{4}\right)}}$$

The integral of $$$\frac{1}{u}$$$ is $$$\int{\frac{1}{u} d u} = \ln{\left(\left|{u}\right| \right)}$$$:

$$- \frac{9 {\color{red}{\int{\frac{1}{u} d u}}}}{4} = - \frac{9 {\color{red}{\ln{\left(\left|{u}\right| \right)}}}}{4}$$

Recall that $$$u=5 - 4 x$$$:

$$- \frac{9 \ln{\left(\left|{{\color{red}{u}}}\right| \right)}}{4} = - \frac{9 \ln{\left(\left|{{\color{red}{\left(5 - 4 x\right)}}}\right| \right)}}{4}$$

Therefore,

$$\int{\frac{9}{5 - 4 x} d x} = - \frac{9 \ln{\left(\left|{4 x - 5}\right| \right)}}{4}$$

Add the constant of integration:

$$\int{\frac{9}{5 - 4 x} d x} = - \frac{9 \ln{\left(\left|{4 x - 5}\right| \right)}}{4}+C$$

$$$\int \frac{9}{5 - 4 x}\, dx = - \frac{9 \ln\left(\left|{4 x - 5}\right|\right)}{4} + C$$$A
