Find $$$\int \left(- 2 x - 2 - \frac{1}{x}\right)\, dx$$$.
Solution
Integrate term by term:
$${\color{red}{\int{\left(- 2 x - 2 - \frac{1}{x}\right)d x}}} = {\color{red}{\left(- \int{2 d x} - \int{\frac{1}{x} d x} - \int{2 x d x}\right)}}$$
Apply the constant rule $$$\int c\, dx = c x$$$ with $$$c=2$$$:
$$- \int{\frac{1}{x} d x} - \int{2 x d x} - {\color{red}{\int{2 d x}}} = - \int{\frac{1}{x} d x} - \int{2 x d x} - {\color{red}{\left(2 x\right)}}$$
The integral of $$$\frac{1}{x}$$$ is $$$\int{\frac{1}{x} d x} = \ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)}$$$:
$$- 2 x - \int{2 x d x} - {\color{red}{\int{\frac{1}{x} d x}}} = - 2 x - \int{2 x d x} - {\color{red}{\ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)}}}$$
Apply the constant multiple rule $$$\int c f{\left(x \right)}\, dx = c \int f{\left(x \right)}\, dx$$$ with $$$c=2$$$ and $$$f{\left(x \right)} = x$$$:
$$- 2 x - \ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)} - {\color{red}{\int{2 x d x}}} = - 2 x - \ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)} - {\color{red}{\left(2 \int{x d x}\right)}}$$
Apply the power rule $$$\int x^{n}\, dx = \frac{x^{n + 1}}{n + 1}$$$ $$$\left(n \neq -1 \right)$$$ with $$$n=1$$$:
$$- 2 x - \ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)} - 2 {\color{red}{\int{x d x}}}=- 2 x - \ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)} - 2 {\color{red}{\frac{x^{1 + 1}}{1 + 1}}}=- 2 x - \ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)} - 2 {\color{red}{\left(\frac{x^{2}}{2}\right)}}$$
Therefore,
$$\int{\left(- 2 x - 2 - \frac{1}{x}\right)d x} = - x^{2} - 2 x - \ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)}$$
Add the constant of integration:
$$\int{\left(- 2 x - 2 - \frac{1}{x}\right)d x} = - x^{2} - 2 x - \ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)}+C$$
Answer
$$$\int \left(- 2 x - 2 - \frac{1}{x}\right)\, dx = \left(- x^{2} - 2 x - \ln\left(\left|{x}\right|\right)\right) + C$$$A
