integral of (3x)/(x^2-5)

\int \frac{3 x}{x ^{2} - 5} d x

\frac{3}{2} ln x^{2} - 5 + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{3 x}{x ^{2} - 5} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= 3 \cdot \int \frac{x}{x ^{2} - 5} d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{1}{2 u} d u

= 3 \cdot \int \frac{1}{2 u} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= 3 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u} d u

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= 3 \cdot \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = x^{2} - 5

= 3 \cdot \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} - 5

Simplify

3 \cdot \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} - 5 : \frac{3}{2} ln x^{2} - 5

= \frac{3}{2} ln x^{2} - 5

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{3}{2} ln x^{2} - 5 + C

\int \frac{1}{( x - 3 ) x ^{2} - 6 x + 8} d x

\int - cot^{2} (x) d x

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

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

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