integral of x/(x^2-4x-5)

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

\frac{1}{6} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + \frac{5}{6} ln ∣ x - 5 ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

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

= \int \frac{1}{6 ( x + 1 )} + \frac{5}{6 ( x - 5 )} 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}{6 ( x + 1 )} d x + \int \frac{5}{6 ( x - 5 )} d x

\int \frac{1}{6 ( x + 1 )} d x = \frac{1}{6} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣

\int \frac{5}{6 ( x - 5 )} d x = \frac{5}{6} ln ∣ x - 5 ∣

= \frac{1}{6} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + \frac{5}{6} ln ∣ x - 5 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{6} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + \frac{5}{6} ln ∣ x - 5 ∣ + C

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

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

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

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

\int \frac{1}{x 64 x ^{2} - 1} d x
