integral of 4/(x^3+4x)

\int \frac{4}{x ^{3} + 4 x} d x

ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 4 + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{4}{x ^{3} + 4 x} 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 ^{3} + 4 x} d x

Take the partial fraction of

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

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

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

\int \frac{x}{4 ( x ^{2} + 4 )} d x = \frac{1}{8} ln x^{2} + 4

= 4 (\frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{8} ln x^{2} + 4)

Simplify

4 (\frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{8} ln x^{2} + 4) : ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 4

= ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 4

Add a constant to the solution

= ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 4 + C

(x^{2} + 3) cos (- 3 x)

x \to 2 π + lim (x csc (x))

\int_{2}^{3} \frac{15}{3 - x} d x

- x^{2} + y = 1, [2, - 2]
