$\int 2 x d x$

Step 1

This integral could not be completed using integration by parts. Mathway will use another method.

Step 2

Since $2$ is constant with respect to $x$ , move $2$ out of the integral.

$2 \int x d x$

Step 3

By the Power Rule, the integral of $x$ with respect to $x$ is $\frac{1}{2} x^{2}$ .

$2 (\frac{1}{2} x^{2} + C)$
