integral of 4/(x^2-x-6)

\int \frac{4}{x ^{2} - x - 6} d x

4 (- \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ x + 2 ∣ + \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ x - 3 ∣) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{4}{x ^{2} - x - 6} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= 4 \cdot \int \frac{1}{x ^{2} - x - 6} d x

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{x ^{2} - x - 6} : - \frac{1}{5 ( x + 2 )} + \frac{1}{5 ( x - 3 )}

= 4 \cdot \int - \frac{1}{5 ( x + 2 )} + \frac{1}{5 ( 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

= 4 (- \int \frac{1}{5 ( x + 2 )} d x + \int \frac{1}{5 ( x - 3 )} d x)

\int \frac{1}{5 ( x + 2 )} d x = \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ x + 2 ∣

\int \frac{1}{5 ( x - 3 )} d x = \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ x - 3 ∣

= 4 (- \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ x + 2 ∣ + \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ x - 3 ∣)

Add a constant to the solution

= 4 (- \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ x + 2 ∣ + \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ x - 3 ∣) + C

\int 2 x + 2 d x

6 + 5 x

\int sin (h) (x) d x

\int \frac{x}{x + 15} d x

\int (e^{x + y}) d y
