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

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

\frac{3}{2} (\frac{1}{8} ln (x) - \frac{1}{16} ln x^{2} + 4 + \frac{1}{4 ( x ^{2} + 4 )}) + C

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

= 3 \cdot \int \frac{1}{x ( x ^{2} + 4 ) ^{2}} d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{1}{2 ( u - 4 ) u ^{2}} d u

= 3 \cdot \int \frac{1}{2 ( u - 4 ) u ^{2}} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= 3 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int \frac{1}{( u - 4 ) u ^{2}} d u

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{( u - 4 ) u ^{2}} : \frac{1}{16 ( u - 4 )} - \frac{1}{16 u} - \frac{1}{4 u ^{2}}

= 3 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int \frac{1}{16 ( u - 4 )} - \frac{1}{16 u} - \frac{1}{4 u ^{2}} 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

= 3 \cdot \frac{1}{2} (\int \frac{1}{16 ( u - 4 )} d u - \int \frac{1}{16 u} d u - \int \frac{1}{4 u ^{2}} d u)

\int \frac{1}{16 ( u - 4 )} d u = \frac{1}{16} ln ∣ u - 4 ∣

\int \frac{1}{16 u} d u = \frac{1}{16} ln ∣ u ∣

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

= 3 \cdot \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{16} ln ∣ u - 4 ∣ - \frac{1}{16} ln ∣ u ∣ - (- \frac{1}{4 u}))

Substitute back

u = x^{2} + 4

= 3 \cdot \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{16} ln x^{2} + 4 - 4 - \frac{1}{16} ln x^{2} + 4 - (- \frac{1}{4 ( x ^{2} + 4 )}))

Simplify

3 \cdot \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{16} ln x^{2} + 4 - 4 - \frac{1}{16} ln x^{2} + 4 - (- \frac{1}{4 ( x ^{2} + 4 )})) : \frac{3}{2} (\frac{1}{8} ln (x) - \frac{1}{16} ln x^{2} + 4 + \frac{1}{4 ( x ^{2} + 4 )})

= \frac{3}{2} (\frac{1}{8} ln (x) - \frac{1}{16} ln x^{2} + 4 + \frac{1}{4 ( x ^{2} + 4 )})

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{3}{2} (\frac{1}{8} ln (x) - \frac{1}{16} ln x^{2} + 4 + \frac{1}{4 ( x ^{2} + 4 )}) + C

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

\int cos^{4} (4 x) sin^{2} (4 x) d x

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

\int tan^{3} (x) cos^{3} (x) d x

\int \frac{1}{sin ( 3 x ) tan ( 3 x )} d x
