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

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

2 ln x^{2} - a^{2} + C

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{1}{2 u} d u

= 4 \cdot \int \frac{1}{2 u} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= 4 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u} d u

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= 4 \cdot \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = x^{2} - a^{2}

= 4 \cdot \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} - a^{2}

Simplify

4 \cdot \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} - a^{2} : 2 ln x^{2} - a^{2}

= 2 ln x^{2} - a^{2}

Add a constant to the solution

= 2 ln x^{2} - a^{2} + C

\int cos (x) (e^{s i n (x)} + sin^{3} (x)) d x

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

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

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

\int 20 (35 - x) e^{- \frac{x}{25}} d x
