Evaluate for . Which of the following is an antiderivative of ? a) b) c) d)Intuitive explanation
The key is recognizing that , which splits this into a constant plus a familiar logarithm. You already know how to integrate using integration by parts (where and ), and is just a constant multiplier. This decomposition transforms an unfamiliar integral into one you can handle with a standard technique.
