integral of 5/(x^4-1)

\int \frac{5}{x ^{4} - 1} d x

5 (- \frac{1}{2} arctan (x) - \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{5}{x ^{4} - 1} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= 5 \cdot \int \frac{1}{x ^{4} - 1} d x

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{x ^{4} - 1} : - \frac{1}{2 ( x ^{2} + 1 )} - \frac{1}{4 ( x + 1 )} + \frac{1}{4 ( x - 1 )}

= 5 \cdot \int - \frac{1}{2 ( x ^{2} + 1 )} - \frac{1}{4 ( x + 1 )} + \frac{1}{4 ( x - 1 )} 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

= 5 (- \int \frac{1}{2 ( x ^{2} + 1 )} d x - \int \frac{1}{4 ( x + 1 )} d x + \int \frac{1}{4 ( x - 1 )} d x)

\int \frac{1}{2 ( x ^{2} + 1 )} d x = \frac{1}{2} arctan (x)

\int \frac{1}{4 ( x + 1 )} d x = \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣

\int \frac{1}{4 ( x - 1 )} d x = \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣

= 5 (- \frac{1}{2} arctan (x) - \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣)

Add a constant to the solution

= 5 (- \frac{1}{2} arctan (x) - \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣) + C

\int x cos (πk x) d x

\int (5 x^{2} + 9)^{2} d x

\int (x + 5) e^{4 x} d x

\int 2 - \frac{3}{x ^{10}} d x

\int x^{5} lo g_{e} (x) d x
