integral of (-5)/((x-2)(x^2+4))

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

- \frac{5}{4} (\frac{1}{2} ln \frac{x}{2} - 1 + \frac{1}{2} (- \frac{1}{2} ln \frac{x ^{2}}{4} + 1 - arctan (\frac{x}{2}))) + C

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

= - 5 \cdot \int \frac{1}{( x - 2 ) ( x ^{2} + 4 )} d x

Apply Integral Substitution

= - 5 \cdot \int \frac{1}{4 ( u - 1 ) ( u ^{2} + 1 )} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= - 5 \cdot \frac{1}{4} \cdot \int \frac{1}{( u - 1 ) ( u ^{2} + 1 )} d u

Take the partial fraction of

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

= - 5 \cdot \frac{1}{4} \cdot \int \frac{1}{2 ( u - 1 )} + \frac{- u - 1}{2 ( u ^{2} + 1 )} d u

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= - 5 \cdot \frac{1}{4} (\int \frac{1}{2 ( u - 1 )} d u + \int \frac{- u - 1}{2 ( u ^{2} + 1 )} d u)

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

\int \frac{- u - 1}{2 ( u ^{2} + 1 )} d u = \frac{1}{2} (- \frac{1}{2} ln u^{2} + 1 - arctan (u))

= - 5 \cdot \frac{1}{4} (\frac{1}{2} ln ∣ u - 1 ∣ + \frac{1}{2} (- \frac{1}{2} ln u^{2} + 1 - arctan (u)))

Substitute back

u = \frac{x}{2}

= - 5 \cdot \frac{1}{4} (\frac{1}{2} ln \frac{x}{2} - 1 + \frac{1}{2} (- \frac{1}{2} ln (\frac{x}{2})^{2} + 1 - arctan (\frac{x}{2})))

Simplify

- 5 \cdot \frac{1}{4} (\frac{1}{2} ln \frac{x}{2} - 1 + \frac{1}{2} (- \frac{1}{2} ln (\frac{x}{2})^{2} + 1 - arctan (\frac{x}{2}))) : - \frac{5}{4} (\frac{1}{2} ln \frac{x}{2} - 1 + \frac{1}{2} (- \frac{1}{2} ln \frac{x ^{2}}{4} + 1 - arctan (\frac{x}{2})))

= - \frac{5}{4} (\frac{1}{2} ln \frac{x}{2} - 1 + \frac{1}{2} (- \frac{1}{2} ln \frac{x ^{2}}{4} + 1 - arctan (\frac{x}{2})))

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{5}{4} (\frac{1}{2} ln \frac{x}{2} - 1 + \frac{1}{2} (- \frac{1}{2} ln \frac{x ^{2}}{4} + 1 - arctan (\frac{x}{2}))) + C

\int 2 x (x^{2} + 8)^{3} d x

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

\int 7 x^{6} + 7 x^{3} + 4 d x

\int \frac{x ^{2}}{3 x ^{3} + 8} d x

\int 3 cos (6 x) d x
