integral of (x^2-1)/(sqrt(2x-1))

\int \frac{x ^{2} - 1}{2 x - 1} d x

\frac{1}{15} (3 x^{2} + 2 x - 13) 2 x - 1 + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{x ^{2} - 1}{2 x - 1} d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{( u ^{2} + 1 ) ^{2}}{4} - 1 d u

= \int \frac{( u ^{2} + 1 ) ^{2}}{4} - 1 d u

Simplify

\frac{( u ^{2} + 1 ) ^{2}}{4} - 1 : \frac{u ^{4} + 2 u ^{2} - 3}{4}

= \int \frac{u ^{4} + 2 u ^{2} - 3}{4} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= \frac{1}{4} \cdot \int u^{4} + 2 u^{2} - 3 d u

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= \frac{1}{4} (\int u^{4} d u + \int 2 u^{2} d u - \int 3 d u)

\int u^{4} d u = \frac{u ^{5}}{5}

\int 2 u^{2} d u = \frac{2 u ^{3}}{3}

\int 3 d u = 3 u

= \frac{1}{4} (\frac{u ^{5}}{5} + \frac{2 u ^{3}}{3} - 3 u)

Substitute back

u = 2 x - 1

= \frac{1}{4} (\frac{( 2 x - 1 ) ^{5}}{5} + \frac{2 ( 2 x - 1 ) ^{3}}{3} - 3 2 x - 1)

Simplify

\frac{1}{4} (\frac{( 2 x - 1 ) ^{5}}{5} + \frac{2 ( 2 x - 1 ) ^{3}}{3} - 3 2 x - 1) : \frac{1}{15} (3 x^{2} + 2 x - 13) 2 x - 1

= \frac{1}{15} (3 x^{2} + 2 x - 13) 2 x - 1

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{15} (3 x^{2} + 2 x - 13) 2 x - 1 + C

\int x^{4} e^{6 x} d x

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{x ^{3} - 1}{x})

\int 3 x^{7} (x^{8} + 1)^{5} d x

\frac{2}{x}, \frac{2}{x ^{2}}, 1, 6

\frac{d}{d x} (e^{- 15 x})
