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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

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

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

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

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

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

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

Simplify

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

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

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

\int (x^{2} + 5 x + 6) sin (x) d x

\int \frac{sin ( 2 x )}{30 + cos ^{2} ( x )} d x

\int (x^{2} - 1) (x^{3} + 7 x) d x
