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

\int \frac{x - 1}{x ^{2} ( x + 1 )} d x

2 ln ∣ x ∣ + \frac{1}{x} - 2 ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{x - 1}{x ^{2} ( x + 1 )} d x

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{x - 1}{x ^{2} ( x + 1 )} : \frac{2}{x} - \frac{1}{x ^{2}} - \frac{2}{x + 1}

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

Apply the Sum Rule:

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

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

\int \frac{2}{x} d x = 2 ln ∣ x ∣

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

\int \frac{2}{x + 1} d x = 2 ln ∣ x + 1 ∣

= 2 ln ∣ x ∣ - (- \frac{1}{x}) - 2 ln ∣ x + 1 ∣

Simplify

= 2 ln ∣ x ∣ + \frac{1}{x} - 2 ln ∣ x + 1 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= 2 ln ∣ x ∣ + \frac{1}{x} - 2 ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + C

f (t) = sin (2 t)

\int - \frac{1}{( t + 1 ) ^{2}} d t

\frac{d}{d x} (x^{2} + 4 x (\frac{36.5}{x ^{2}}))

f (x) = x + x, (4, 6)

\int \frac{1}{( 144 - x ^{2} ) ^{\frac{3}{2}}} d x
