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

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

- \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x ∣ + \frac{1}{3} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ + \frac{1}{6} ln ∣ x + 2 ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{x ( x - 1 ) ( x + 2 )} : - \frac{1}{2 x} + \frac{1}{3 ( x - 1 )} + \frac{1}{6 ( x + 2 )}

= \int - \frac{1}{2 x} + \frac{1}{3 ( x - 1 )} + \frac{1}{6 ( 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 \frac{1}{2 x} d x + \int \frac{1}{3 ( x - 1 )} d x + \int \frac{1}{6 ( x + 2 )} d x

\int \frac{1}{2 x} d x = \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x ∣

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

\int \frac{1}{6 ( x + 2 )} d x = \frac{1}{6} ln ∣ x + 2 ∣

= - \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x ∣ + \frac{1}{3} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ + \frac{1}{6} ln ∣ x + 2 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x ∣ + \frac{1}{3} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ + \frac{1}{6} ln ∣ x + 2 ∣ + C

\int (x - 1) arctan (x) d x

\int \frac{( e ^{- x} )}{1 + e ^{- x}} d x

\int 2 b e^{2 a x} d x

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

\int 3 x csc (3 x) cot (3 x) d x
