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

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

ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{5}{3} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + \frac{2}{3} ln ∣ x - 2 ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{3 x - 2}{x ^{3} - x ^{2} - 2 x} : \frac{1}{x} - \frac{5}{3 ( x + 1 )} + \frac{2}{3 ( x - 2 )}

= \int \frac{1}{x} - \frac{5}{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}{x} d x - \int \frac{5}{3 ( x + 1 )} d x + \int \frac{2}{3 ( x - 2 )} d x

\int \frac{1}{x} d x = ln ∣ x ∣

\int \frac{5}{3 ( x + 1 )} d x = \frac{5}{3} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣

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

= ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{5}{3} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + \frac{2}{3} ln ∣ x - 2 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{5}{3} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + \frac{2}{3} ln ∣ x - 2 ∣ + C

\int \frac{1}{2 x ^{2} + 8} d x

\int \frac{y}{2 - y} d y

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

\int arccos^{2} (x) d x
