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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

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

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

\int \frac{1}{x} d x = ln ∣ x ∣

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

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int \frac{( ln ( z ) ) ^{7}}{z} d z

\int \frac{1}{( x - 2 ) ^{\frac{2}{3}}} d x

\int (4 - x^{2})^{- \frac{3}{2}} d x

\int (cot (x) + tan (x))^{2} d x

\int cos^{3} (5 x) sin (5 x) d x
