integral of 1/(x^2-x-12)

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} - x - 12} d x

- \frac{1}{7} ln ∣ x + 3 ∣ + \frac{1}{7} ln ∣ x - 4 ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} - x - 12} d x

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{x ^{2} - x - 12} : - \frac{1}{7 ( x + 3 )} + \frac{1}{7 ( x - 4 )}

= \int - \frac{1}{7 ( x + 3 )} + \frac{1}{7 ( x - 4 )} 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}{7 ( x + 3 )} d x + \int \frac{1}{7 ( x - 4 )} d x

\int \frac{1}{7 ( x + 3 )} d x = \frac{1}{7} ln ∣ x + 3 ∣

\int \frac{1}{7 ( x - 4 )} d x = \frac{1}{7} ln ∣ x - 4 ∣

= - \frac{1}{7} ln ∣ x + 3 ∣ + \frac{1}{7} ln ∣ x - 4 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{7} ln ∣ x + 3 ∣ + \frac{1}{7} ln ∣ x - 4 ∣ + C

\int \frac{3 x + 1}{x ^{3} + x} d x

\int 5^{2 x} 2 d x

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

\int \frac{1}{1 + cos ( x ) - sin ( x )} d x

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