integral of 1/(v(v+1))

integral

\frac{1}{v ( v + 1 )}

ln ∣ v ∣ - ln ∣ v + 1 ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{v ( v + 1 )} d v

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{v ( v + 1 )} : \frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{v + 1}

= \int \frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{v + 1} d v

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}{v} d v - \int \frac{1}{v + 1} d v

\int \frac{1}{v} d v = ln ∣ v ∣

\int \frac{1}{v + 1} d v = ln ∣ v + 1 ∣

= ln ∣ v ∣ - ln ∣ v + 1 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= ln ∣ v ∣ - ln ∣ v + 1 ∣ + C

e^{x} e^{2 x} + 6 e^{x} + 10

1 - cos (2 x)

2 e^{2} x

lo g_{10} (\frac{2}{y})

\frac{1}{( x ^{5} + x ^{3} )}
