integral from 0 to 1 of 1/(x^2-25)

\int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{x ^{2} - 25} d x

- \frac{ln ( \frac{3}{2} )}{10}

Decimal

- 0.04054 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{x ^{2} - 25} d x

Apply Integral Substitution

= \int_{0}^{\frac{1}{5}} \frac{1}{5 ( 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}{5} \cdot \int_{0}^{\frac{1}{5}} \frac{1}{u ^{2} - 1} d u

Factor

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

= \frac{1}{5} \cdot \int_{0}^{\frac{1}{5}} \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}{5} (- \int_{0}^{\frac{1}{5}} \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}{5} (- [\frac{ln ∣ u + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ u - 1 ∣}{2}]_{0}^{\frac{1}{5}})

Simplify

\frac{1}{5} (- [\frac{ln ∣ u + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ u - 1 ∣}{2}]_{0}^{\frac{1}{5}}) : - \frac{1}{5} [\frac{ln ∣ u + 1 ∣ - ln ∣ u - 1 ∣}{2}]_{0}^{\frac{1}{5}}

= - \frac{1}{5} [\frac{ln ∣ u + 1 ∣ - ln ∣ u - 1 ∣}{2}]_{0}^{\frac{1}{5}}

Compute the boundaries:

\frac{ln ( \frac{6}{5} ) - ln ( \frac{4}{5} )}{2}

= - \frac{1}{5} \cdot \frac{ln ( \frac{6}{5} ) - ln ( \frac{4}{5} )}{2}

Simplify

= - \frac{ln ( \frac{3}{2} )}{10}

\int_{4}^{7} x e^{7 x} d x

\int_{0}^{3} 3 t - 5 d t

\int_{0}^{1} 2 x - 1 d x

\int_{- 1}^{2} 2 d x

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{4}} x d x
