integral of 1/(x(x+3))

\int \frac{1}{x ( x + 3 )} d x

\frac{1}{3} ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{3} ln ∣ x + 3 ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{x ( x + 3 )} d x

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{x ( x + 3 )} : \frac{1}{3 x} - \frac{1}{3 ( x + 3 )}

= \int \frac{1}{3 x} - \frac{1}{3 ( x + 3 )} 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{1}{3 x} d x - \int \frac{1}{3 ( x + 3 )} d x

\int \frac{1}{3 x} d x = \frac{1}{3} ln ∣ x ∣

\int \frac{1}{3 ( x + 3 )} d x = \frac{1}{3} ln ∣ x + 3 ∣

= \frac{1}{3} ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{3} ln ∣ x + 3 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{3} ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{3} ln ∣ x + 3 ∣ + C

8 e^{- x}

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{( tan ( x ) - 1 )}{sec ( x )})

\frac{d}{d x} (39 arctan (x))

x \to - 5 + lim (\frac{x + 6}{x + 5})

f (x) = \frac{1}{x} - 1
