integral of (-3x^2)/(x^4-1)

\int \frac{- 3 x ^{2}}{x ^{4} - 1} d x

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

Solution steps

\int \frac{- 3 x ^{2}}{x ^{4} - 1} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= - 3 \cdot \int \frac{x ^{2}}{x ^{4} - 1} d x

Take the partial fraction of

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

= - 3 \cdot \int \frac{1}{2 ( x ^{2} + 1 )} - \frac{1}{4 ( x + 1 )} + \frac{1}{4 ( x - 1 )} 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

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

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

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

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\frac{1}{2 s ^{2} + 3 s + 1}

x^{6} cos (x)

y (s) = \frac{1}{s + k e ^{s}}

n = 1 \sum \infty arcsin (n)

y^{^{''}} + 4 y^{^{'}} - 5 y = e^{3 x}
