integral of 1/(x^3(1+x^2))

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

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

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

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

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

\int \frac{1}{x} d x = ln ∣ x ∣

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

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int 30 x^{4} d x

\int (4 - 2 x) d x

\int e^{5 x - 4} d x

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

\int \frac{1 - cos ( 2 t )}{2} d t
