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

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

- \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x + 4 ∣ + \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x + 2 ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

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

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

\int \frac{1}{2 ( x + 4 )} d x = \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x + 4 ∣

\int \frac{1}{2 ( x + 2 )} d x = \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x + 2 ∣

= - \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x + 4 ∣ + \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x + 2 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x + 4 ∣ + \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x + 2 ∣ + C

\int \frac{1}{9 - 3 ^{2}} d x

\int \frac{1}{55} x^{4} d x

f (x) = x^{π} \cdot π^{x}

\int 12 x^{2} sin (6 - x^{3}) d x

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