integral of (x^2+2)/(x^2-1)

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

- 3 (\frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ - \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣) + x + C

Solution steps

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

\frac{x ^{2} + 2}{x ^{2} - 1} = \frac{3}{x ^{2} - 1} + 1

= \int \frac{3}{x ^{2} - 1} + 1 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

= \int \frac{3}{x ^{2} - 1} d x + \int 1 d x

\int \frac{3}{x ^{2} - 1} d x = - 3 (\frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ - \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣)

\int 1 d x = x

= - 3 (\frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ - \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣) + x

Add a constant to the solution

= - 3 (\frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ - \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣) + x + C

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

\int - 4 x^{3} 9 - x^{2} d x

\int 7 e^{z} d z

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

\int (3 - 8 x)^{11} d x
