integral of 1/(x^2-36)

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} - 36} d x

- \frac{1}{12} (ln \frac{x}{6} + 1 - ln \frac{x}{6} - 1) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} - 36} d x

Apply Integral Substitution

= \int \frac{1}{6 ( u ^{2} - 1 )} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{6} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u ^{2} - 1} d u

Factor

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

= \frac{1}{6} \cdot \int \frac{1}{- ( - u ^{2} + 1 )} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{6} (- \int \frac{1}{- u ^{2} + 1} d u)

Use the common integral:

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

= \frac{1}{6} (- (\frac{ln ∣ u + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ u - 1 ∣}{2}))

Substitute back

u = \frac{x}{6}

= \frac{1}{6} (- (\frac{ln \frac{x}{6} + 1}{2} - \frac{ln \frac{x}{6} - 1}{2}))

Simplify

\frac{1}{6} (- (\frac{ln \frac{x}{6} + 1}{2} - \frac{ln \frac{x}{6} - 1}{2})) : - \frac{1}{12} (ln \frac{x}{6} + 1 - ln \frac{x}{6} - 1)

= - \frac{1}{12} (ln \frac{x}{6} + 1 - ln \frac{x}{6} - 1)

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{12} (ln \frac{x}{6} + 1 - ln \frac{x}{6} - 1) + C

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

y^{^{'}} = - a \cdot y^{2}

\frac{d}{d t} (t^{9} e^{t})

4^{^{'}}

\frac{d}{d x} (sin (4 x^{2} + 3 x))
