Integrals - a stupid question

[Fritz]

if you have \int_frac{y}{x}=int_L, if you multiply the LHS by c within the integral, is L multiplied by c within its integral?

[chroot]

Do you mean this?

\int \frac{y}{x} = \int L

[marlon]

or are you talking about multiplying some constant with an integral ???

- Marlon

c * \int\frac {y}{x} = \int cL ???

[Fritz]

Not a constant, another variable.

[HallsofIvy]

If you mean "Is f(x)\int g(x)dx= \int f(x)g(x)dx " the answer is no:
x\int xdx= \frac{1}{2}x^3+ C and \int x^2dx= \frac{1}{3}x^3+ C.

I may be misunderstanding your question since if you are taking differential equations, you certainly should know calculus enough that that would be obvious.
