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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Take the partial fraction of

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

= 5 \cdot \int \frac{1}{3 ( x - 1 )} - \frac{1}{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

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

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

\int \frac{1}{3 ( x + 2 )} d x = \frac{1}{3} ln ∣ x + 2 ∣

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int 8 x e^{0.005 x^{2}} d x

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

\int \frac{1}{1 + sec ( x )} d x

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

\int 5 (t^{2} - 5 t - 2) d t
