Use differentiation to verify the integration formulas

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on verifying the integration formula for the expression ∫dx/((cx+a)(dx+b)) = (1/(ad-bc))ln|((dx+b)/(cx+a))| + C through differentiation. The user derived the differentiation of the integral, resulting in D((1/(ad-bc))ln|((dx+b)/(cx+a))|) = (cx+a)/((ad-bc)(dx+b)). The conversation highlights the importance of applying the quotient rule correctly and emphasizes the relationship between logarithmic differentiation and integration verification.

ok, so my problem goes like this:

I have that the integral of dx/((cx+a)(dx+b))=1/(ad-bc)lnabs((dx+b)/cx+a)) + C
I have to use differentiation to verify the integration formulas.

So far I've gotten to:

D(1/(ad-bc)lnabs((dx+b)/cx+a)))=(1/ad-bc)((cx=a)/(dx+b)) => (cx+a)/((ad-bc)(dx+b))

where do I go from here to get back to the original integration formula? :confused:

You differentiation is at fault.

if you have F = ln{f(x)/g(x)}, then

F = lnf(x) - lng(x)

dF/dx = f'/f - g'/g

where f' = df/dx, g' = dg/dx
