integral of 1/(x^2+4x-5)

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 4 x - 5} d x

\frac{1}{6} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ - \frac{1}{6} ln ∣ x + 5 ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 4 x - 5} d x

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{x ^{2} + 4 x - 5} : \frac{1}{6 ( x - 1 )} - \frac{1}{6 ( x + 5 )}

= \int \frac{1}{6 ( x - 1 )} - \frac{1}{6 ( x + 5 )} 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}{6 ( x - 1 )} d x - \int \frac{1}{6 ( x + 5 )} d x

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

\int \frac{1}{6 ( x + 5 )} d x = \frac{1}{6} ln ∣ x + 5 ∣

= \frac{1}{6} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ - \frac{1}{6} ln ∣ x + 5 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{6} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ - \frac{1}{6} ln ∣ x + 5 ∣ + C

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

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

\int 8 x e^{4 x} d x

\int \frac{3}{3 x + 5} d x

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