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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

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

= \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

= - \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 ∣

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int \frac{x}{x ^{2} + 2 x + 3} d x

\int \frac{x ^{2} + 4 x + 27}{( x - 2 ) ( x ^{2} + 9 )} d x

\frac{1}{x ^{3}}

\int x 2^{- x^{2}} d x

\int \frac{3}{2 x ^{3}} d x
