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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

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

Use the common integral:

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

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

Simplify

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

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

\int (x^{3} + 6 x) (6 x^{2} + 12) d x

\int - tan (x) sec (x) d x

\int tan (3 x) sec^{2} (3 x) d x

\int \frac{x + 1}{x ^{2} + 4 x + 4} d x
