integral of 1/(x(x^n+a))

\int \frac{1}{x ( x ^{n} + a )} d x

\frac{1}{an} (- ln (\frac{∣ x ^{n} + a ∣}{∣ a ∣}) + ln \frac{x ^{n} + a}{a} - 1) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{x ( x ^{n} + a )} d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{1}{n u ( u - a )} d u

= \int \frac{1}{n u ( u - a )} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{n} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u ( u - a )} d u

u - a = a (\frac{u}{a} - 1)

= \frac{1}{n} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u a ( \frac{u}{a} - 1 )} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{n} \cdot \frac{1}{a} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u ( \frac{u}{a} - 1 )} d u

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{1}{v ( v - 1 )} d v

= \frac{1}{n} \cdot \frac{1}{a} \cdot \int \frac{1}{v ( v - 1 )} d v

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{v ( v - 1 )} : - \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{v - 1}

= \frac{1}{n} \cdot \frac{1}{a} \cdot \int - \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{v - 1} d v

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}{n} \cdot \frac{1}{a} (- \int \frac{1}{v} d v + \int \frac{1}{v - 1} d v)

\int \frac{1}{v} d v = ln ∣ v ∣

\int \frac{1}{v - 1} d v = ln ∣ v - 1 ∣

= \frac{1}{n} \cdot \frac{1}{a} (- ln ∣ v ∣ + ln ∣ v - 1 ∣)

Substitute back

= \frac{1}{n} \cdot \frac{1}{a} (- ln \frac{x ^{n} + a}{a} + ln \frac{x ^{n} + a}{a} - 1)

Simplify

\frac{1}{n} \cdot \frac{1}{a} (- ln \frac{x ^{n} + a}{a} + ln \frac{x ^{n} + a}{a} - 1) : \frac{1}{an} (- ln (\frac{∣ x ^{n} + a ∣}{∣ a ∣}) + ln \frac{x ^{n} + a}{a} - 1)

= \frac{1}{an} (- ln (\frac{∣ x ^{n} + a ∣}{∣ a ∣}) + ln \frac{x ^{n} + a}{a} - 1)

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{an} (- ln (\frac{∣ x ^{n} + a ∣}{∣ a ∣}) + ln \frac{x ^{n} + a}{a} - 1) + C

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

\int \frac{( x + 4 ) ^{9}}{2 x} d x

\int \frac{6 x + 2}{x ^{2} + 1} d x

\int 3 x^{3} + 6 x + \frac{1}{x ^{3}} d x
