integral of (x^3)/((x^2+2)^2)

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

\frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 2 + \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 2} + C

Solution steps

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

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{u - 2}{2 u ^{2}} d u

= \int \frac{u - 2}{2 u ^{2}} d u

Take the constant out:

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

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

Expand

\frac{u - 2}{u ^{2}} : \frac{1}{u} - \frac{2}{u ^{2}}

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

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

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

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln ∣ u ∣

\int \frac{2}{u ^{2}} d u = - \frac{2}{u}

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

Substitute back

u = x^{2} + 2

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

Simplify

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

= \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 2 + \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 2}

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 2 + \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 2} + C

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

y = \frac{4}{x}, y = 16 x, y = \frac{1}{4} x

\int \frac{1}{2 ^{x} + 1} d x

(x + 19) e^{3 x} + 4

m \to - 1 lim (m^{3} - 1)
