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

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

\frac{x ^{2}}{8} - ln ∣ x ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{4} \cdot \int \frac{x ^{2} - 4}{x} d x

Expand

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

= \frac{1}{4} \cdot \int x - \frac{4}{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}{4} (\int x d x - \int \frac{4}{x} d x)

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

\int \frac{4}{x} d x = 4 ln ∣ x ∣

= \frac{1}{4} (\frac{x ^{2}}{2} - 4 ln ∣ x ∣)

Simplify

\frac{1}{4} (\frac{x ^{2}}{2} - 4 ln ∣ x ∣) : \frac{x ^{2}}{8} - ln ∣ x ∣

= \frac{x ^{2}}{8} - ln ∣ x ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{x ^{2}}{8} - ln ∣ x ∣ + C

\int (x^{2} - 5 x + 7) d x

\int sin (25 t) sec^{2} (cos (25 t)) d t

\int \frac{1 - sin ( t )}{t + cos ( t )} d t

\int \frac{1}{( 5 t + 1 ) ^{2} - 1} d t

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