$$\int\limits_{\frac{1}{2}}^{2} \frac{1}{2 x - 1}\, dx$$

Integral(1/(2*x - 1), (x, 1/2, 2))

Detail solution

Let $u = 2 x - 1$ .

Then let $du = 2 dx$ and substitute $\frac{du}{2}$ :

$\int \frac{1}{2 u}\, du$
1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
  
  $\int \frac{1}{u}\, du = \frac{\int \frac{1}{u}\, du}{2}$
  1. The integral of $\frac{1}{u}$ is $\log{\left(u \right)}$ .
  So, the result is: $\frac{\log{\left(u \right)}}{2}$
Now substitute $u$ back in:

$\frac{\log{\left(2 x - 1 \right)}}{2}$
Now simplify:

$\frac{\log{\left(2 x - 1 \right)}}{2}$
Add the constant of integration:

$\frac{\log{\left(2 x - 1 \right)}}{2}+ \mathrm{constant}$

The answer is:

$\frac{\log{\left(2 x - 1 \right)}}{2}+ \mathrm{constant}$
