integral of x/((x^2-1))

integral

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

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

Solution steps

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

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{1}{2 u} d u

= \int \frac{1}{2 u} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u} d u

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = x^{2} - 1

= \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} - 1

Add a constant to the solution

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

\frac{1}{( c - x )}

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

t^{2} e^{t}

5 y^{2} (e^{x})^{2}

- 0.5 x^{2}
