integral of 1/(x^3+x^2-2x)

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

- \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x ∣ + \frac{1}{3} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ + \frac{1}{6} ln ∣ x + 2 ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{x ^{3} + x ^{2} - 2 x} : - \frac{1}{2 x} + \frac{1}{3 ( x - 1 )} + \frac{1}{6 ( x + 2 )}

= \int - \frac{1}{2 x} + \frac{1}{3 ( x - 1 )} + \frac{1}{6 ( 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}{2 x} d x + \int \frac{1}{3 ( x - 1 )} d x + \int \frac{1}{6 ( x + 2 )} d x

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

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

\int \frac{1}{6 ( x + 2 )} d x = \frac{1}{6} ln ∣ x + 2 ∣

= - \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x ∣ + \frac{1}{3} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ + \frac{1}{6} ln ∣ x + 2 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x ∣ + \frac{1}{3} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ + \frac{1}{6} ln ∣ x + 2 ∣ + C

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

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

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

\int 2 - x d x

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