integral of (2x-1)/(x^2-5x+6)

\int \frac{2 x - 1}{x ^{2} - 5 x + 6} d x

ln 4 x^{2} - 20 x + 24 - 4 ln ∣ 2 x - 4 ∣ + 4 ln ∣ 2 x - 6 ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{2 x - 1}{x ^{2} - 5 x + 6} d x

Complete the square

x^{2} - 5 x + 6 : (x - \frac{5}{2})^{2} - \frac{1}{4}

= \int \frac{2 x - 1}{( x - \frac{5}{2} ) ^{2} - \frac{1}{4}} d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{4 ( 2 u + 4 )}{4 u ^{2} - 1} d u

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

Take the constant out:

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

= 4 \cdot \int \frac{2 u + 4}{4 u ^{2} - 1} d u

Expand

\frac{2 u + 4}{4 u ^{2} - 1} : \frac{2 u}{4 u ^{2} - 1} + \frac{4}{4 u ^{2} - 1}

Apply the Sum Rule:

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

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

\int \frac{2 u}{4 u ^{2} - 1} d u = \frac{1}{4} ln 4 u^{2} - 1

\int \frac{4}{4 u ^{2} - 1} d u = - ln ∣ 2 u + 1 ∣ + ln ∣ 2 u - 1 ∣

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

Substitute back

u = x - \frac{5}{2}

= 4 (\frac{1}{4} ln 4 (x - \frac{5}{2})^{2} - 1 - ln 2 (x - \frac{5}{2}) + 1 + ln 2 (x - \frac{5}{2}) - 1)

Simplify

4 (\frac{1}{4} ln 4 (x - \frac{5}{2})^{2} - 1 - ln 2 (x - \frac{5}{2}) + 1 + ln 2 (x - \frac{5}{2}) - 1) : ln 4 x^{2} - 20 x + 24 - 4 ln ∣ 2 x - 4 ∣ + 4 ln ∣ 2 x - 6 ∣

= ln 4 x^{2} - 20 x + 24 - 4 ln ∣ 2 x - 4 ∣ + 4 ln ∣ 2 x - 6 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= ln 4 x^{2} - 20 x + 24 - 4 ln ∣ 2 x - 4 ∣ + 4 ln ∣ 2 x - 6 ∣ + C

\int 10 x^{3} d x

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

\int \frac{1}{x 4 + 9 x ^{2}} d x

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

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