integral of 1/(2x^2+4x)

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

\frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x + 2 ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

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

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

\int \frac{1}{4 x} d x = \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x ∣

\int \frac{1}{4 ( x + 2 )} d x = \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x + 2 ∣

= \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x + 2 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x + 2 ∣ + C

\int (\frac{( 2 x ^{3} + 8 x )}{x ^{2} + 4}) d x

\int \frac{x ^{3}}{( 16 - x ^{4} ) ^{2}} d x

\int x^{2} - 5 x d x

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

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