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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

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

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

\int \frac{2}{3 ( x - 1 )} d x = \frac{2}{3} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

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

\int \frac{36}{( 2 x + 1 ) ^{2}} d x

\int e^{4 - x} d x

\int \frac{cos ( y + 1 )}{y + 1} d y

\int x + 2 - x d x
