integral of (3x^2-4)/(x^2+4)

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

3 x - 8 arctan (\frac{x}{2}) + C

Solution steps

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

Expand

\frac{3 x ^{2} - 4}{x ^{2} + 4} : \frac{3 x ^{2}}{x ^{2} + 4} - \frac{4}{x ^{2} + 4}

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

\int \frac{3 x ^{2}}{x ^{2} + 4} d x = 6 (- arctan (\frac{x}{2}) + \frac{x}{2})

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

= 6 (- arctan (\frac{x}{2}) + \frac{x}{2}) - 2 arctan (\frac{x}{2})

Simplify

6 (- arctan (\frac{x}{2}) + \frac{x}{2}) - 2 arctan (\frac{x}{2}) : 3 x - 8 arctan (\frac{x}{2})

= 3 x - 8 arctan (\frac{x}{2})

Add a constant to the solution

= 3 x - 8 arctan (\frac{x}{2}) + C

\int (3 cos (x) + 8 sin (x)) d x

\int \frac{7 x - 2}{5 - 4 x - x ^{2}} d x

\int \frac{e ^{u}}{4 + e ^{2 u}} d u

\int \frac{3 x}{( x + 2 ) ( x - 4 )} d x

\int \frac{2 ^{x - 1} - 5 ^{x - 1}}{1 0 ^{x}} d x
