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

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

\frac{a}{2} ln \frac{x}{a} + 1 - \frac{a}{2} ln \frac{x}{a} - 1 - x + C

Solution steps

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

Apply Integral Substitution

= \int \frac{a u ^{2}}{1 - u ^{2}} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= a \cdot \int \frac{u ^{2}}{1 - u ^{2}} d u

\frac{u ^{2}}{1 - u ^{2}} = \frac{1}{1 - u ^{2}} - 1

= a \cdot \int \frac{1}{1 - 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

= a (\int \frac{1}{1 - u ^{2}} d u - \int 1 d u)

\int \frac{1}{1 - u ^{2}} d u = \frac{ln ∣ u + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ u - 1 ∣}{2}

\int 1 d u = u

= a (\frac{ln ∣ u + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ u - 1 ∣}{2} - u)

Substitute back

u = \frac{x}{a}

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

Simplify

a (\frac{ln \frac{x}{a} + 1}{2} - \frac{ln \frac{x}{a} - 1}{2} - \frac{x}{a}) : \frac{a}{2} ln \frac{x}{a} + 1 - \frac{a}{2} ln \frac{x}{a} - 1 - x

= \frac{a}{2} ln \frac{x}{a} + 1 - \frac{a}{2} ln \frac{x}{a} - 1 - x

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{a}{2} ln \frac{x}{a} + 1 - \frac{a}{2} ln \frac{x}{a} - 1 - x + C

\int cos^{8} (3 x) sin (3 x) d x

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

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

\int \frac{6 x + 5}{x + 2} d x
