integral of 1/((x-3)(x-1))

\int \frac{1}{( x - 3 ) ( x - 1 )} d x

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

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{( x - 3 ) ( x - 1 )} d x

Take the partial fraction of

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

= \int \frac{1}{2 ( x - 3 )} - \frac{1}{2 ( 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

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

\int \frac{1}{2 ( x - 3 )} d x = \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x - 3 ∣

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

= \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x - 3 ∣ - \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

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

\frac{6}{5} - \frac{6}{5} e^{- 20 t}

f (x) = \frac{2 - x e ^{x}}{x + e ^{x}}

\frac{x ^{2} + 1}{x ^{2} - 4}

\int \frac{x + 6}{x ^{2} + 9} d x

\int_{- 3}^{- 2} 5 (2 x + 4)^{\frac{1}{3}} d x
