integral of (x^2-2x+4)/(x^3+4x)

\int \frac{x ^{2} - 2 x + 4}{x ^{3} + 4 x} d x

ln ∣ x ∣ - arctan (\frac{x}{2}) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{x ^{2} - 2 x + 4}{x ^{3} + 4 x} d x

Take the partial fraction of

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

= \int \frac{1}{x} - \frac{2}{x ^{2} + 4} 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{2}{x ^{2} + 4} d x

\int \frac{1}{x} d x = ln ∣ x ∣

\int \frac{2}{x ^{2} + 4} d x = arctan (\frac{x}{2})

= ln ∣ x ∣ - arctan (\frac{x}{2})

Add a constant to the solution

= ln ∣ x ∣ - arctan (\frac{x}{2}) + C

\int tan^{3} (x) sin^{2} (x) d x

\int (t^{3} - \frac{e ^{- t} + 4}{e ^{- t}}) d t

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

\int \frac{sin ( 2 x )}{( 1 - cos ( 2 x ) ) ^{2}} d x

\int (100 - \frac{5}{x ^{2}}) d x
