integral of 1/(x^2-8x+7)

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} - 8 x + 7} d x

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

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} - 8 x + 7} d x

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{x ^{2} - 8 x + 7} : - \frac{1}{6 ( x - 1 )} + \frac{1}{6 ( x - 7 )}

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

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

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

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

\int - \frac{4}{t} d t

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

\int \frac{1}{( w ^{2} + 5 ) ^{3}} d w

\int \frac{1}{y y ^{2} - 16} d y
