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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{x ^{2}}{( x - 1 ) ( x ^{2} + 2 x + 1 )} : \frac{1}{4 ( x - 1 )} + \frac{3}{4 ( x + 1 )} - \frac{1}{2 ( x + 1 ) ^{2}}

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

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

\int \frac{3}{4 ( x + 1 )} d x = \frac{3}{4} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣

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

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

Simplify

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{- x ^{2}}{2 x ^{2} - 3})

f^{^{'}} (x) = 7 x^{4} - 9 x^{3} - 4

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (\frac{x}{x - b})

\int x (sec (x) tan (x)) d x

4 x^{3} - 6 x^{2}
