Can some one check my work on an integration problem?

OpenStudy (chrisplusian):

\[\int\limits(\frac{ 1 }{ 7x-2 }-\frac{ 1 }{ 7x+2 })dx\] thi is the original problem. I wan to show you the steps I followed, because when I check it with my ti nspire cas cx it gives a completely different answer.

OpenStudy (chrisplusian):

first\[\int\limits(\frac{ 1 }{7x-2 }dx -\int\limits \frac{ 1 }{ 7x+2 }dx\]

OpenStudy (chrisplusian):

Then for the first indefinite integral\[u=7x-2, du=7dx\], then for the second indefinite integral\[u=7x+2, du=7dx\]

OpenStudy (chrisplusian):

then I have \[\frac{ 1 }{ 7 }\int\limits \frac{ 1 }{ u }du-\frac{ 1 }{ 7 }\int\limits \frac{ 1 }{ u }du\]

OpenStudy (chrisplusian):

finally my answer was\[\frac{ 1 }{ 7 }(\ln [7x-2]-\ln [7x+2])+c\] those brackets should be absolute value bars but i couldn't figure out how to use them

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\huge ln |A|-ln|B|=ln|\frac{A}{B}|\)

OpenStudy (chrisplusian):

the cas calculator answer was \[\frac{ \ln \frac{ 7x-2 }{ 7x+2 } }{ 7 }\]

OpenStudy (chrisplusian):

so thats all I am missing is simplifying?

\(\huge ln |A|-ln|B|=ln|\frac{A}{B}|\)
