integral of 3/(x^2-4x+5)

\int \frac{3}{x ^{2} - 4 x + 5} d x

3 arctan (x - 2) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{3}{x ^{2} - 4 x + 5} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= 3 \cdot \int \frac{1}{x ^{2} - 4 x + 5} d x

Complete the square

x^{2} - 4 x + 5 : (x - 2)^{2} + 1

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

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{1}{u ^{2} + 1} d u

= 3 \cdot \int \frac{1}{u ^{2} + 1} d u

Use the common integral:

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

= 3 arctan (u)

Substitute back

u = x - 2

= 3 arctan (x - 2)

Add a constant to the solution

= 3 arctan (x - 2) + C

\int (\frac{1}{11} x^{3} + \frac{3}{2} x^{2})^{3} d x

\int x^{2} (2 x - 1)^{- 7} d x

\int (2 - x) cos (\frac{nπ x}{2}) d x

\int (\frac{d y}{( 3 y - 5 ) ^{2}}) d x

\int e^{x} + \frac{5}{x} d x
