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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Expand

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

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

\int \frac{x}{x ^{2} + 1} d x = \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 1

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int \frac{1}{- 4 x ^{2} - 20 x - 21} d x

\int \frac{1 + tan ( x )}{sin ( 2 x )} d x

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

\int x cos (\frac{π}{4} x) d x

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