Step 2.3.1

Split the single integral into multiple integrals.

$\ln (| y |) + C_{1} = \int 6 x d x + \int - 1 d x$

Step 2.3.2

Since $6$ is constant with respect to $x$ , move $6$ out of the integral.

$\ln (| y |) + C_{1} = 6 \int x d x + \int - 1 d x$

$e^{\ln (| y |)} = e^{3 x^{2} - x + C}$

Step 3.2

Rewrite $\ln (| y |) = 3 x^{2} - x + C$ in exponential form using the definition of a logarithm. If $x$ and $b$ are positive real numbers and $b \neq 1$ , then $\log_{b} (x) = y$ is equivalent to $b^{y} = x$ .

$e^{3 x^{2} - x + C} = | y |$

Rewrite the equation as $| y | = e^{3 x^{2} - x + C}$ .

$| y | = e^{3 x^{2} - x + C}$

Step 3.3.2

Remove the absolute value term. This creates a $\pm$ on the right side of the equation because $| x | = \pm x$ .
