integral of (2u)/(u^2-1)

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

ln u^{2} - 1 + C

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Apply u-substitution

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

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{1}{2 v} d v

Take the constant out:

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

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int \frac{1}{v} d v

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{v} d v = ln (∣ v ∣)

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ v ∣

Substitute back

v = u^{2} - 1

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

Simplify

2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} ln u^{2} - 1 : ln u^{2} - 1

= ln u^{2} - 1

Add a constant to the solution

= ln u^{2} - 1 + C

\int \frac{1}{4 - 25 x ^{2}} d x

\int \frac{1}{3 + 2 x - 1} d x

\int x^{9} ln (2 x) d x

\int sin (38 x) sin (cos (38 x)) d x

\int 7 x^{2} + 5 + \frac{9}{x ^{2} + 1} d x
