integral of 1/(x^2(1-x^4))

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

- \frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{2} arctan (x) + \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ - \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

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

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

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

\int \frac{1}{2 ( x ^{2} + 1 )} d x = \frac{1}{2} arctan (x)

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

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

= - \frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{2} arctan (x) + \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ - \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{2} arctan (x) + \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ - \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ + C

\int \frac{5 x + 6}{x + 1} d x

\int 2 + e^{x} d x

\int \frac{6 x ^{2} - 6 x}{1 - 3 x ^{2} + 2 x ^{3}} d x

\int \frac{2}{( 2 t - 1 ) ^{2} + 4} d t

\int \frac{1}{y ( b - a y )} d y
