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

\int \frac{2}{x ( 1 + x )} d x

2 (ln ∣ x ∣ - ln ∣ x + 1 ∣) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{2}{x ( 1 + x )} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{1}{x ( 1 + x )} d x

Take the partial fraction of

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

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{x + 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

= 2 (\int \frac{1}{x} d x - \int \frac{1}{x + 1} d x)

\int \frac{1}{x} d x = ln ∣ x ∣

\int \frac{1}{x + 1} d x = ln ∣ x + 1 ∣

= 2 (ln ∣ x ∣ - ln ∣ x + 1 ∣)

Add a constant to the solution

= 2 (ln ∣ x ∣ - ln ∣ x + 1 ∣) + C

\int \frac{x - 18}{4 x ^{3} + 9 x} d x

\int \frac{x + 1}{x ^{2} + 2 x + 5} d x

\int 2 x^{2} 4 x^{3} - 7 d x

\int sin (5 t) sec^{2} (cos (5 t)) d t

\int \frac{- 6}{x ^{2}} d x
