Solution

Apply the constant multiple rule $$$\int c f{\left(x \right)}\, dx = c \int f{\left(x \right)}\, dx$$$ with $$$c=8$$$ and $$$f{\left(x \right)} = \frac{1}{x}$$$:

$${\color{red}{\int{\frac{8}{x} d x}}} = {\color{red}{\left(8 \int{\frac{1}{x} d x}\right)}}$$

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

$$8 {\color{red}{\int{\frac{1}{x} d x}}} = 8 {\color{red}{\ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)}}}$$

Therefore,

$$\int{\frac{8}{x} d x} = 8 \ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)}$$

Add the constant of integration:

$$\int{\frac{8}{x} d x} = 8 \ln{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)}+C$$

Answer

$$$\int \frac{8}{x}\, dx = 8 \ln\left(\left|{x}\right|\right) + C$$$A
