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

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

x^{2} - 1 + ln x^{2} - 1 + C

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{u + 1}{2 u} d u

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{u + 1}{2 u} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int \frac{u + 1}{u} d u

Expand

\frac{u + 1}{u} : 1 + \frac{1}{u}

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int 1 + \frac{1}{u} d u

Apply the Sum Rule:

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

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} (\int 1 d u + \int \frac{1}{u} d u)

\int 1 d u = u

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln ∣ u ∣

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} (u + ln ∣ u ∣)

Substitute back

u = x^{2} - 1

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} (x^{2} - 1 + ln x^{2} - 1)

Simplify

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

= x^{2} - 1 + ln x^{2} - 1

Add a constant to the solution

= x^{2} - 1 + ln x^{2} - 1 + C

\int \frac{1}{1 + x + 2} d x

\int sec (t) (5 sec (t) + 3 tan (t)) d t

\int \frac{x ^{3}}{1 - 25 x ^{8}} d x

\int e^{1 - 6 x} d x

\int lo g_{10} (x^{2}) d x
