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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

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

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

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

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int \frac{y}{6 - y} d y

\int (x^{2} + 2) x^{3} + 6 x d x

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

\int 4 x e^{2 x^{2}} d x

\int a sin (b t) d t
