integral of 1/(x(x+1)(x+3))

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

\frac{1}{3} ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + \frac{1}{6} ln ∣ x + 3 ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{x ( x + 1 ) ( x + 3 )} : \frac{1}{3 x} - \frac{1}{2 ( x + 1 )} + \frac{1}{6 ( x + 3 )}

= \int \frac{1}{3 x} - \frac{1}{2 ( x + 1 )} + \frac{1}{6 ( x + 3 )} 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} d x - \int \frac{1}{2 ( x + 1 )} d x + \int \frac{1}{6 ( x + 3 )} d x

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

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

\int \frac{1}{6 ( x + 3 )} d x = \frac{1}{6} ln ∣ x + 3 ∣

= \frac{1}{3} ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + \frac{1}{6} ln ∣ x + 3 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{3} ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + \frac{1}{6} ln ∣ x + 3 ∣ + C

\int 3 (sin (x))^{- 2} d x

\int 7 x^{5} e^{x^{6}} d x

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

\int 2 x^{2} - cos (x) + C d x

\int cos (\frac{x}{6}) d x
