integral of 1/((x+2)(x-3))

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

- \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ x + 2 ∣ + \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ x - 3 ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{( x + 2 ) ( x - 3 )} : - \frac{1}{5 ( x + 2 )} + \frac{1}{5 ( x - 3 )}

= \int - \frac{1}{5 ( x + 2 )} + \frac{1}{5 ( x - 3 )} 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}{5 ( x + 2 )} d x + \int \frac{1}{5 ( x - 3 )} d x

\int \frac{1}{5 ( x + 2 )} d x = \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ x + 2 ∣

\int \frac{1}{5 ( x - 3 )} d x = \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ x - 3 ∣

= - \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ x + 2 ∣ + \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ x - 3 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ x + 2 ∣ + \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ x - 3 ∣ + C

\int \frac{( x - 9 )}{x ^{2} - x - 2} d x

\int \frac{x ^{3}}{3 x ^{4} - 7} d x

\int 5 x^{2} (2 x^{3} - 5)^{5} d x

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

\int 8 d x
