integral of (x+3/x)^2

\int (x + \frac{3}{x})^{2} d x

\frac{x ^{3}}{3} + 6 x - \frac{9}{x} + C

Solution steps

\int (x + \frac{3}{x})^{2} d x

Expand

(x + \frac{3}{x})^{2} : x^{2} + 6 + \frac{9}{x ^{2}}

= \int x^{2} + 6 + \frac{9}{x ^{2}} 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 x^{2} d x + \int 6 d x + \int \frac{9}{x ^{2}} d x

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

\int 6 d x = 6 x

\int \frac{9}{x ^{2}} d x = - \frac{9}{x}

= \frac{x ^{3}}{3} + 6 x - \frac{9}{x}

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{x ^{3}}{3} + 6 x - \frac{9}{x} + C

\int sec^{7} (3 x) d x

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

\int cos (x) sin^{4} (sin (x)) d x

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

\int tan^{4} (x) sec^{3} (x) tan (x) sec (x) d x
