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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{u - 2}{2 u} d u

= \int \frac{u - 2}{2 u} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int \frac{u - 2}{u} d u

Expand

\frac{u - 2}{u} : 1 - \frac{2}{u}

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int 1 - \frac{2}{u} d u

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= \frac{1}{2} (\int 1 d u - \int \frac{2}{u} d u)

\int 1 d u = u

\int \frac{2}{u} d u = 2 ln ∣ u ∣

= \frac{1}{2} (u - 2 ln ∣ u ∣)

Substitute back

u = x^{2} + 2

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

Simplify

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int \frac{9}{5 - 4 x} d x

\int (sin (x) + yz e^{x z}) d x

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

\int \frac{- 3}{x ( ln ( x ) ) ^{4}} d x
