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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

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

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

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

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int \frac{ln ( 1 + 3 x )}{x ^{2}} d x

\int \frac{ln ( x )}{x ^{\frac{3}{2}}} d x

\int \frac{1}{x ( ln ( x ) ) ^{17}} d x

\int \frac{1}{x 5 + 1} d x

\int \frac{1}{1 - \frac{x ^{2}}{81}} d x
