integral of 1/(x^2-6)

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} - 6} d x

- \frac{1}{2 6} (ln \frac{x}{6} + 1 - ln \frac{x}{6} - 1) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} - 6} d x

Apply Integral Substitution

= \int \frac{1}{6 ( u ^{2} - 1 )} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{6} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u ^{2} - 1} d u

Factor

u^{2} - 1 : - (- u^{2} + 1)

= \frac{1}{6} \cdot \int \frac{1}{- ( - u ^{2} + 1 )} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{6} (- \int \frac{1}{- u ^{2} + 1} d u)

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{- u ^{2} + 1} d u = \frac{ln ∣ u + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ u - 1 ∣}{2}

= \frac{1}{6} (- (\frac{ln ∣ u + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ u - 1 ∣}{2}))

Substitute back

u = \frac{x}{6}

= \frac{1}{6} - \frac{ln \frac{x}{6} + 1}{2} - \frac{ln \frac{x}{6} - 1}{2}

Simplify

\frac{1}{6} - \frac{ln \frac{x}{6} + 1}{2} - \frac{ln \frac{x}{6} - 1}{2} : - \frac{1}{2 6} (ln \frac{x}{6} + 1 - ln \frac{x}{6} - 1)

= - \frac{1}{2 6} (ln \frac{x}{6} + 1 - ln \frac{x}{6} - 1)

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{2 6} (ln \frac{x}{6} + 1 - ln \frac{x}{6} - 1) + C

\int \frac{1}{e ^{2 θ} - 1} d θ

\int (x sin (5 x)) d x

\int x^{3} + 7 \cdot x^{2} + 3 \cdot x d x

\int \frac{7}{x + 3 x} d x

\int \frac{1}{4 x - 6} d x
