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

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

2 (\frac{1}{4} ln 4 x^{2} - 4 x - 24 - \frac{1}{20} (ln \frac{4}{5} + \frac{2}{5} x - ln - \frac{6}{5} + \frac{2}{5} x)) + C

Solution steps

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

Complete the square

x^{2} - x - 6 : (x - \frac{1}{2})^{2} - \frac{25}{4}

= \int \frac{x}{( x - \frac{1}{2} ) ^{2} - \frac{25}{4}} d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{2 ( 2 u + 1 )}{4 u ^{2} - 25} d u

= \int \frac{2 ( 2 u + 1 )}{4 u ^{2} - 25} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{2 u + 1}{4 u ^{2} - 25} d u

Expand

\frac{2 u + 1}{4 u ^{2} - 25} : \frac{2 u}{4 u ^{2} - 25} + \frac{1}{4 u ^{2} - 25}

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= 2 (\int \frac{2 u}{4 u ^{2} - 25} d u + \int \frac{1}{4 u ^{2} - 25} d u)

\int \frac{2 u}{4 u ^{2} - 25} d u = \frac{1}{4} ln 4 u^{2} - 25

\int \frac{1}{4 u ^{2} - 25} d u = - \frac{1}{20} (ln \frac{2}{5} u + 1 - ln \frac{2}{5} u - 1)

= 2 (\frac{1}{4} ln 4 u^{2} - 25 - \frac{1}{20} (ln \frac{2}{5} u + 1 - ln \frac{2}{5} u - 1))

Substitute back

u = x - \frac{1}{2}

= 2 (\frac{1}{4} ln 4 (x - \frac{1}{2})^{2} - 25 - \frac{1}{20} (ln \frac{2}{5} (x - \frac{1}{2}) + 1 - ln \frac{2}{5} (x - \frac{1}{2}) - 1))

Simplify

2 (\frac{1}{4} ln 4 (x - \frac{1}{2})^{2} - 25 - \frac{1}{20} (ln \frac{2}{5} (x - \frac{1}{2}) + 1 - ln \frac{2}{5} (x - \frac{1}{2}) - 1)) : 2 (\frac{1}{4} ln 4 x^{2} - 4 x - 24 - \frac{1}{20} (ln \frac{4}{5} + \frac{2}{5} x - ln - \frac{6}{5} + \frac{2}{5} x))

= 2 (\frac{1}{4} ln 4 x^{2} - 4 x - 24 - \frac{1}{20} (ln \frac{4}{5} + \frac{2}{5} x - ln - \frac{6}{5} + \frac{2}{5} x))

Add a constant to the solution

= 2 (\frac{1}{4} ln 4 x^{2} - 4 x - 24 - \frac{1}{20} (ln \frac{4}{5} + \frac{2}{5} x - ln - \frac{6}{5} + \frac{2}{5} x)) + C

\int 416 cos (x) d x

\int 3 x^{5} + 4 x^{\frac{3}{2}} - 2 x^{- \frac{1}{2}} d x

\int cos (x) - 4 d x

\int \frac{2 x}{x ^{2} + 8} d x

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