integral from 2 to 3 of (-5)/(x^2-1)

\int_{2}^{3} \frac{- 5}{x ^{2} - 1} d x

\frac{5 ( ln ( 2 ) - ln ( 3 ) )}{2}

Decimal

- 1.01366 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{2}^{3} \frac{- 5}{x ^{2} - 1} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= - 5 \cdot \int_{2}^{3} \frac{1}{x ^{2} - 1} d x

Factor

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

= - 5 \cdot \int_{2}^{3} \frac{1}{- ( - x ^{2} + 1 )} d x

Take the constant out:

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

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

Use the common integral:

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

= - 5 (- [\frac{ln ∣ x + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ x - 1 ∣}{2}]_{2}^{3})

Simplify

- 5 (- [\frac{ln ∣ x + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ x - 1 ∣}{2}]_{2}^{3}) : 5 [\frac{1}{2} (ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ - ln ∣ x - 1 ∣)]_{2}^{3}

= 5 [\frac{1}{2} (ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ - ln ∣ x - 1 ∣)]_{2}^{3}

Compute the boundaries:

\frac{ln ( 2 ) - ln ( 3 )}{2}

= 5 \cdot \frac{ln ( 2 ) - ln ( 3 )}{2}

Simplify

= \frac{5 ( ln ( 2 ) - ln ( 3 ) )}{2}

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{x + 6}{7 x ^{2} e ^{x}})

\int e^{- \frac{x}{5}} d x

\frac{d}{d x} ((\frac{2}{x ^{3}})^{2})

\int x^{- \frac{8}{3}} d x

3 9 x^{2} + 8
