integral of 1/((x+1)^2(x-4))

\int \frac{1}{( x + 1 ) ^{2} ( x - 4 )} d x

- \frac{1}{25} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + \frac{1}{5 ( x + 1 )} + \frac{1}{25} ln ∣ x - 4 ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{( x + 1 ) ^{2} ( x - 4 )} d x

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{( x + 1 ) ^{2} ( x - 4 )} : - \frac{1}{25 ( x + 1 )} - \frac{1}{5 ( x + 1 ) ^{2}} + \frac{1}{25 ( x - 4 )}

= \int - \frac{1}{25 ( x + 1 )} - \frac{1}{5 ( x + 1 ) ^{2}} + \frac{1}{25 ( x - 4 )} 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}{25 ( x + 1 )} d x - \int \frac{1}{5 ( x + 1 ) ^{2}} d x + \int \frac{1}{25 ( x - 4 )} d x

\int \frac{1}{25 ( x + 1 )} d x = \frac{1}{25} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣

\int \frac{1}{5 ( x + 1 ) ^{2}} d x = - \frac{1}{5 ( x + 1 )}

\int \frac{1}{25 ( x - 4 )} d x = \frac{1}{25} ln ∣ x - 4 ∣

= - \frac{1}{25} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ - (- \frac{1}{5 ( x + 1 )}) + \frac{1}{25} ln ∣ x - 4 ∣

Simplify

= - \frac{1}{25} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + \frac{1}{5 ( x + 1 )} + \frac{1}{25} ln ∣ x - 4 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{25} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + \frac{1}{5 ( x + 1 )} + \frac{1}{25} ln ∣ x - 4 ∣ + C

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

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (3 x^{2} y^{3} - 3 x^{2})

\int 2 u d u

\int 2 x - 4 d x

y = \frac{81}{x ^{4}}
