integral of 1/(x^3-2x^2)

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

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

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{x ^{3} - 2 x ^{2}} : - \frac{1}{4 x} - \frac{1}{2 x ^{2}} + \frac{1}{4 ( x - 2 )}

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

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

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

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

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

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

Simplify

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int b cos (a t) d t

\int 5 x sin (2 x^{2}) d x

\int \frac{1}{500} e^{- \frac{x}{500}} d x

\int \frac{x + 2}{x ^{2} + 5 x + 4} d x

\int \frac{3}{4 x ^{2} + 16} d x
