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

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

- 4 x + \frac{1}{2} (x + 2)^{2} - ln ∣ x + 2 ∣ - 12 + C

Solution steps

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

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

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

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{( u + 2 + 5 ) ( u + 2 - 5 )}{u + 4} d u

= \int \frac{( u + 2 + 5 ) ( u + 2 - 5 )}{u + 4} d u

\frac{( u + 2 + 5 ) ( u + 2 - 5 )}{u + 4} = \frac{u ^{2} + 3 u - 5}{u + 4} + 1

= \int \frac{u ^{2} + 3 u - 5}{u + 4} + 1 d u

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{u ^{2} + 3 u - 5}{u + 4} d u + \int 1 d u

\int \frac{u ^{2} + 3 u - 5}{u + 4} d u = - 5 u + \frac{1}{2} (u + 4)^{2} - ln ∣ u + 4 ∣ - 20

\int 1 d u = u

= - 5 u + \frac{1}{2} (u + 4)^{2} - ln ∣ u + 4 ∣ - 20 + u

Substitute back

u = x - 2

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

Simplify

- 5 (x - 2) + \frac{1}{2} (x - 2 + 4)^{2} - ln ∣ x - 2 + 4 ∣ - 20 + x - 2 : - 4 x + \frac{1}{2} (x + 2)^{2} - ln ∣ x + 2 ∣ - 12

= - 4 x + \frac{1}{2} (x + 2)^{2} - ln ∣ x + 2 ∣ - 12

Add a constant to the solution

= - 4 x + \frac{1}{2} (x + 2)^{2} - ln ∣ x + 2 ∣ - 12 + C

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

\int 2 x^{- \frac{2}{3}} - 2 x^{\frac{5}{3}} d x

\int x^{4} e^{- 6 x^{5}} d x

\int (x + 7) 14 x + x^{2} d x

\int \frac{4}{x ^{7}} d x
