integral of 1/((2x+3)(x-1))

\int \frac{1}{( 2 x + 3 ) ( x - 1 )} d x

- \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ 2 x + 3 ∣ + \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ 2 x - 2 ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{( 2 x + 3 ) ( x - 1 )} d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{1}{u ( u - 5 )} d u

= \int \frac{1}{u ( u - 5 )} d u

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{u ( u - 5 )} : - \frac{1}{5 u} + \frac{1}{5 ( u - 5 )}

= \int - \frac{1}{5 u} + \frac{1}{5 ( u - 5 )} 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 \frac{1}{5 u} d u + \int \frac{1}{5 ( u - 5 )} d u

\int \frac{1}{5 u} d u = \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ u ∣

\int \frac{1}{5 ( u - 5 )} d u = \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ u - 5 ∣

= - \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ u ∣ + \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ u - 5 ∣

Substitute back

u = 2 x + 3

= - \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ 2 x + 3 ∣ + \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ 2 x + 3 - 5 ∣

Simplify

- \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ 2 x + 3 ∣ + \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ 2 x + 3 - 5 ∣ : - \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ 2 x + 3 ∣ + \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ 2 x - 2 ∣

= - \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ 2 x + 3 ∣ + \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ 2 x - 2 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ 2 x + 3 ∣ + \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ 2 x - 2 ∣ + C

\int \frac{x + 4}{x ^{2} + 4 x - 12} d x

\int cot^{\frac{1}{2}} (3 x) csc^{4} (3 x) d x

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

\int \frac{3 x - 2}{x ^{2} - 5 x + 6} d x
