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

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

\frac{x ^{2}}{4} + ln ∣ x ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int \frac{x ^{2} + 2}{x} d x

Expand

\frac{x ^{2} + 2}{x} : x + \frac{2}{x}

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int x + \frac{2}{x} 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

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

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

\int \frac{2}{x} d x = 2 ln ∣ x ∣

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

Simplify

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

= \frac{x ^{2}}{4} + ln ∣ x ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{x ^{2}}{4} + ln ∣ x ∣ + C

3 e^{x}

\int 5^{x} csc^{2} (5^{x} + 2) d x

\int \frac{1}{8 y - 5} d y

\int (x + 1) 8^{(x + 1)^{2}} d x

\int \frac{4}{9 - 4 x ^{2}} d x
