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

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

- \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ - \frac{1}{2 ( x - 1 )} + \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

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

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

\int \frac{1}{4 ( x - 1 )} d x = \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣

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

\int \frac{1}{4 ( x + 1 )} d x = \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣

= - \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ - \frac{1}{2 ( x - 1 )} + \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ - \frac{1}{2 ( x - 1 )} + \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + C

\int \frac{1}{2 sin ( x ) + cos ( x ) + 5} d x

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

\int e^{x} 2^{x} d x

\int x^{2} + 3 x - 4 d x

\int 2 x d x
