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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

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

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

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

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

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

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

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

\int csc^{2} (3 θ) cot (3 θ) d θ

\int \frac{x ^{7}}{( x ^{4} + 3 ) ^{5}} d x
