integral of 1/(y^2-16)

\int \frac{1}{y ^{2} - 16} d y

- \frac{1}{8} (ln \frac{y}{4} + 1 - ln \frac{y}{4} - 1) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{y ^{2} - 16} d y

Apply Integral Substitution

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

Factor

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

= \frac{1}{4} \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}{4} (- \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}{4} (- (\frac{ln ∣ u + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ u - 1 ∣}{2}))

Substitute back

u = \frac{y}{4}

= \frac{1}{4} (- (\frac{ln \frac{y}{4} + 1}{2} - \frac{ln \frac{y}{4} - 1}{2}))

Simplify

\frac{1}{4} (- (\frac{ln \frac{y}{4} + 1}{2} - \frac{ln \frac{y}{4} - 1}{2})) : - \frac{1}{8} (ln \frac{y}{4} + 1 - ln \frac{y}{4} - 1)

= - \frac{1}{8} (ln \frac{y}{4} + 1 - ln \frac{y}{4} - 1)

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{8} (ln \frac{y}{4} + 1 - ln \frac{y}{4} - 1) + C

y^{^{'}} = t^{\frac{1}{4}} - y

\int_{- 7}^{7} (49 - x^{2}) d x

\frac{d}{d x} (ln (\frac{x + 3}{e ^{3 x}}))

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (\frac{x}{9 + y})

\int \frac{1}{( x ^{2} - 361 ) ^{\frac{3}{2}}} d x
