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

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

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

Solution steps

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

\frac{x ^{2} + 4}{x ^{2} - 4} = \frac{8}{x ^{2} - 4} + 1

= \int \frac{8}{x ^{2} - 4} + 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{8}{x ^{2} - 4} d x + \int 1 d x

\int \frac{8}{x ^{2} - 4} d x = - 4 (\frac{1}{2} ln \frac{x}{2} + 1 - \frac{1}{2} ln \frac{x}{2} - 1)

\int 1 d x = x

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int \frac{x}{x ^{2} - 5 x + 4} d x

\int \frac{19}{x} d x

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

\int tan^{4} (2 θ) d θ

\int \frac{cos ^{3} ( x )}{sin ^{3} ( x )} d x
