integral of (5x-1)/(x^2-x-2)

\int \frac{5 x - 1}{x ^{2} - x - 2} d x

2 ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + 3 ln ∣ x - 2 ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{5 x - 1}{x ^{2} - x - 2} d x

Take the partial fraction of

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

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

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

\int \frac{3}{x - 2} d x = 3 ln ∣ x - 2 ∣

= 2 ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + 3 ln ∣ x - 2 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= 2 ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + 3 ln ∣ x - 2 ∣ + C

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

\int sin (3 t) sec^{2} (cos (3 t)) d t

\int 4 x^{3} + 6 x^{2} - 1 d x

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

\int \frac{7}{9} sec^{2} (\frac{x}{9}) d x
