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

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

\frac{x ^{2}}{2} - x + C

Solution steps

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

Simplify

\frac{x ^{2} - 1}{x + 1} : x - 1

= \int 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

= \int x d x - \int 1 d x

\int x d x = \frac{x ^{2}}{2}

\int 1 d x = x

= \frac{x ^{2}}{2} - x

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{x ^{2}}{2} - x + C

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} - 13 x + 42} d x

\int \frac{5}{3 x - 2} d x

\int \frac{x - 2}{( x ^{2} + 8 x + 64 ) ^{2}} d x

\int (e^{6 x} + 7 e^{- x}) d x

\int sin (a \cdot x) d x
