integral of 1/(x^2-5x-6)

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} - 5 x - 6} d x

- \frac{1}{7} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + \frac{1}{7} ln ∣ x - 6 ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} - 5 x - 6} d x

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{x ^{2} - 5 x - 6} : - \frac{1}{7 ( x + 1 )} + \frac{1}{7 ( x - 6 )}

= \int - \frac{1}{7 ( x + 1 )} + \frac{1}{7 ( x - 6 )} 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}{7 ( x + 1 )} d x + \int \frac{1}{7 ( x - 6 )} d x

\int \frac{1}{7 ( x + 1 )} d x = \frac{1}{7} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣

\int \frac{1}{7 ( x - 6 )} d x = \frac{1}{7} ln ∣ x - 6 ∣

= - \frac{1}{7} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + \frac{1}{7} ln ∣ x - 6 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{7} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + \frac{1}{7} ln ∣ x - 6 ∣ + C

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

\int \frac{ln ( x )}{x \cdot 1 + ln ( x )} d x

\int \frac{2 x + 7}{x ^{2} + 7 x + 2} d x

\int \frac{x}{x - 12} d x

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