integral of 1/((x^3+x))

integral

\frac{1}{( x ^{3} + x )}

ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 1 + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{x ^{3} + x} d x

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{x ^{3} + x} : \frac{1}{x} - \frac{x}{x ^{2} + 1}

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

\int \frac{1}{x} d x = ln ∣ x ∣

\int \frac{x}{x ^{2} + 1} d x = \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 1

= ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 1

Add a constant to the solution

= ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 1 + C

(e^{- t})^{2}

2 t + 5

5 x^{2}

sec^{2} (x) tan^{2} (x)

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