Solve ∫ 2x dx

Method: power rule + constant multiple. Verified step-by-step solution with our free AI math solver.
Problem

2xdx\int 2x \, dx

Step-by-step solution

  1. Pull the constant out: 2xdx=2xdx\int 2x \, dx = 2 \int x \, dx.

  2. Apply power rule: xdx=x22+C\int x \, dx = \frac{x^2}{2} + C.

  3. Multiply: 2x22=x22 \cdot \frac{x^2}{2} = x^2.

  4. Add constant: x2+Cx^2 + C.

Answer

x2+Cx^2 + C
