Why $\frac{1}{2}\ln |2x+7| + K = \ln|2x+7|^{1/2}+\ln k$

45 Views Asked by At

My textbook jumps from:

$$\frac{1}{2}\ln |2x+7| + K$$

to:

$$ = \ln|2x+7|^{1/2}+\ln k = \ln k\sqrt{|2x+7|}$$

Why does the constant change from $K$ to $\ln k$?

Since the codomain of $\ln$ function is $\Bbb R$ then for $K\in\Bbb R$ there is $k>0$ such that $K=\ln k$.
