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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

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

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

\int \frac{2}{x} d x = 2 ln ∣ x ∣

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

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int (e sin^{2} (x) + 3 e^{x} + e cos^{2} (x)) d x

\int (x^{2} - 4) (x^{3} - 4 x)^{3} d x

\int \frac{x + 2}{x ^{2} - 6 x + 34} d x

\int 0.15 (2^{\frac{x}{5}}) d x

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