Question:medium

If \( \int \frac{1}{2x^2} \, dx = k \cdot 2x + C \), then \( k \) is equal to:

Show Hint

For integrals involving powers of \( x \), use the power rule: \( \int x^n \, dx = \frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1} + C \).
  • \( -1 \)
  • \( \log 2 \)
  • \( -\log 2 \)
  • \( 1/2 \)
Show Solution

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The integral of \( \frac{1}{2x^2} \) is \( \int \frac{1}{2x^2} \, dx = -\frac{1}{2x} + C \). Comparing this to \( k \cdot 2x + C \), we determine \( k = \frac{1}{2} \).
