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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{( u - 1 ) ^{3}}{u} d u

= \int \frac{( u - 1 ) ^{3}}{u} d u

Expand

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

= \int u^{2} - 3 u + 3 - \frac{1}{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

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

\int u^{2} d u = \frac{u ^{3}}{3}

\int 3 u d u = \frac{3 u ^{2}}{2}

\int 3 d u = 3 u

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln ∣ u ∣

= \frac{u ^{3}}{3} - \frac{3 u ^{2}}{2} + 3 u - ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = x + 1

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int 9 cos^{2} (3 x) d x

\int \frac{1}{5 + cos ( x )} d x

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

\int (x^{5} + \frac{1}{x ^{3}} + 4) d x

\int - 3 x^{4} e^{x^{5}} d x
