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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{x}{( x - 1 ) ^{2} ( x + 1 )} : \frac{1}{4 ( x - 1 )} + \frac{1}{2 ( x - 1 ) ^{2}} - \frac{1}{4 ( x + 1 )}

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

\int \frac{1}{4 ( x - 1 )} d x = \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣

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

\int \frac{1}{4 ( x + 1 )} d x = \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int t^{3} e^{13 t} d t

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

\int x d x

\int \frac{x ^{3}}{16 + x ^{4}} d x
