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

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

- ln x^{2} - 1 + C

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{1}{2 u} d u

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= - 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = x^{2} - 1

= - 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} - 1

Simplify

- 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} - 1 : - ln x^{2} - 1

= - ln x^{2} - 1

Add a constant to the solution

= - ln x^{2} - 1 + C

\frac{\partial}{\partial y} (8 y - (x + y)^{3})

2 sin^{4} (x)

\int \frac{1}{( 2 - y ) ( 1 - y )} d y

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (2 ln (x) + 5 ln (y))

\int (5 x^{3} + 6 x) e^{x^{2}} d x
