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

integral

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

x + 1 - 3 ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ - \frac{3}{x + 1} + \frac{1}{2 ( x + 1 ) ^{2}} + C

Solution steps

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

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{( u - 1 ) ^{3}}{u ^{3}} d u

= \int \frac{( u - 1 ) ^{3}}{u ^{3}} d u

Expand

\frac{( u - 1 ) ^{3}}{u ^{3}} : 1 - \frac{3}{u} + \frac{3}{u ^{2}} - \frac{1}{u ^{3}}

= \int 1 - \frac{3}{u} + \frac{3}{u ^{2}} - \frac{1}{u ^{3}} d u

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 d u - \int \frac{3}{u} d u + \int \frac{3}{u ^{2}} d u - \int \frac{1}{u ^{3}} d u

\int 1 d u = u

\int \frac{3}{u} d u = 3 ln ∣ u ∣

\int \frac{3}{u ^{2}} d u = - \frac{3}{u}

\int \frac{1}{u ^{3}} d u = - \frac{1}{2 u ^{2}}

= u - 3 ln ∣ u ∣ - \frac{3}{u} - (- \frac{1}{2 u ^{2}})

Substitute back

u = x + 1

= x + 1 - 3 ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ - \frac{3}{x + 1} - (- \frac{1}{2 ( x + 1 ) ^{2}})

Simplify

= x + 1 - 3 ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ - \frac{3}{x + 1} + \frac{1}{2 ( x + 1 ) ^{2}}

Add a constant to the solution

= x + 1 - 3 ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ - \frac{3}{x + 1} + \frac{1}{2 ( x + 1 ) ^{2}} + C

2^{x} \cdot e^{2} x

\frac{( x - 1 )}{( x ^{2} + 3 x - 4 )}

\frac{( x ^{3} - 1 )}{x ^{2}}

\frac{z}{( 1 - z ^{2} ) ^{\frac{1}{2}}}

3 x \cdot e^{1.5 x^{2}}
