integral of (x-3)/(x^2+4)

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

\frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 4 - \frac{3}{2} arctan (\frac{x}{2}) + C

Solution steps

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

Expand

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

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

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

\int \frac{3}{x ^{2} + 4} d x = \frac{3}{2} arctan (\frac{x}{2})

= \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 4 - \frac{3}{2} arctan (\frac{x}{2})

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 4 - \frac{3}{2} arctan (\frac{x}{2}) + C

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

\int \frac{t}{t ^{2} + 2 t - 3} d t

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

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

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