integral of (x^2-16)/(x-4)

\int \frac{x ^{2} - 16}{x - 4} d x

\frac{1}{2} (x - 4)^{2} + 8 x - 32 + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{x ^{2} - 16}{x - 4} d x

Expand

\frac{x ^{2} - 16}{x - 4} : \frac{x ^{2}}{x - 4} - \frac{16}{x - 4}

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{x ^{2}}{x - 4} d x - \int \frac{16}{x - 4} d x

\int \frac{x ^{2}}{x - 4} d x = \frac{( x - 4 ) ^{2}}{2} + 8 (x - 4) + 16 ln ∣ x - 4 ∣

\int \frac{16}{x - 4} d x = 16 ln ∣ x - 4 ∣

= \frac{( x - 4 ) ^{2}}{2} + 8 (x - 4) + 16 ln ∣ x - 4 ∣ - 16 ln ∣ x - 4 ∣

Simplify

\frac{( x - 4 ) ^{2}}{2} + 8 (x - 4) + 16 ln ∣ x - 4 ∣ - 16 ln ∣ x - 4 ∣ : \frac{1}{2} (x - 4)^{2} + 8 x - 32

= \frac{1}{2} (x - 4)^{2} + 8 x - 32

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{2} (x - 4)^{2} + 8 x - 32 + C

\int \frac{1}{5 - y} d y

\int \frac{6 x ^{3} + 4 x ^{2} - 46 x - 30}{x ^{2} - 9} d x

\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{- 2 x + 1} d x

\frac{d v}{d t} + \frac{5.4}{59} \cdot v = - 9.81

64 y^{^{''}} - 16 y^{^{'}} + y = 0
