integral from 1 to 2 of 1/(x(1+x^2))

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

\frac{- ln ( 5 ) + 3 ln ( 2 )}{2}

Decimal

0.23500 \dots

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

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

= \int_{1}^{2} \frac{1}{x} - \frac{x}{x ^{2} + 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_{1}^{2} \frac{1}{x} d x - \int_{1}^{2} \frac{x}{x ^{2} + 1} d x

\int_{1}^{2} \frac{1}{x} d x = ln (2)

\int_{1}^{2} \frac{x}{x ^{2} + 1} d x = \frac{1}{2} (ln (5) - ln (2))

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

Simplify

ln (2) - \frac{1}{2} (ln (5) - ln (2)) : \frac{- ln ( 5 ) + 3 ln ( 2 )}{2}

= \frac{- ln ( 5 ) + 3 ln ( 2 )}{2}

\int_{2}^{6} \frac{y}{y - 2} d y

\int_{1}^{2} (20 x^{3} + \frac{6}{x ^{2}}) d x

\int_{0}^{10} (10 x - x^{2}) d x

\int_{0}^{6} \frac{1}{2} x d x

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} x^{2} \cdot sin (2 x) d x
