integral of (x+3)/(x^2-4)

\int \frac{x + 3}{x ^{2} - 4} d x

\frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} - 4 - \frac{3}{4} (ln \frac{x}{2} + 1 - ln \frac{x}{2} - 1) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{x + 3}{x ^{2} - 4} d x

Expand

\frac{x + 3}{x ^{2} - 4} : \frac{x}{x ^{2} - 4} + \frac{3}{x ^{2} - 4}

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{x}{x ^{2} - 4} d x + \int \frac{3}{x ^{2} - 4} d x

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

\int \frac{3}{x ^{2} - 4} d x = - \frac{3}{4} (ln \frac{x}{2} + 1 - ln \frac{x}{2} - 1)

= \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} - 4 - \frac{3}{4} (ln \frac{x}{2} + 1 - ln \frac{x}{2} - 1)

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} - 4 - \frac{3}{4} (ln \frac{x}{2} + 1 - ln \frac{x}{2} - 1) + C

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

\int \frac{x}{( 4 + x ^{2} ) ^{\frac{3}{2}}} d x

\int 8 x^{3} 2 x^{4} + 6 d x

\int 3 e^{x} - 2 sin (x) + 1 d x

\int \frac{1}{4 x + 3} d x
