Step 2.3.2.1.1

Differentiate $1 + x$ .

$\frac{d}{d x} [1 + x]$

Step 2.3.2.1.2

By the Sum Rule, the derivative of $1 + x$ with respect to $x$ is $\frac{d}{d x} [1] + \frac{d}{d x} [x]$ .

$\frac{d}{d x} [1] + \frac{d}{d x} [x]$

Step 2.3.2.1.3

Since $1$ is constant with respect to $x$ , the derivative of $1$ with respect to $x$ is $0$ .

$0 + \frac{d}{d x} [x]$

Step 2.3.2.1.4

Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [x^{n}]$ is $n x^{n - 1}$ where $n = 1$ .

$0 + 1$

Step 2.3.2.1.5

Add $0$ and $1$ .

$1$

Step 2.3.2.2

Rewrite the problem using $u$ and $d u$ .

$y + C_{1} = 7 \int \frac{1}{u} d u$

Step 2.3.3

The integral of $\frac{1}{u}$ with respect to $u$ is $\ln (| u |)$ .

$y + C_{1} = 7 (\ln (| u |) + C_{2})$

Step 2.3.4

Simplify.

$y + C_{1} = 7 \ln (| u |) + C_{2}$

Step 2.3.5

Replace all occurrences of $u$ with $1 + x$ .

$y + C_{1} = 7 \ln (| 1 + x |) + C_{2}$

Step 2.4

Group the constant of integration on the right side as $C$ .

$y = 7 \ln (| 1 + x |) + C$
