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

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

\frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{2 ( x + 1 )} - \frac{1}{2 ( x - 1 )} + C

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

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

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

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

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

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

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

Simplify

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

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{2 ( x + 1 )} - \frac{1}{2 ( x - 1 )} + C

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

\int \frac{6}{49 - 36 x ^{2}} d x

\int [\frac{4 x ^{2} - 8 x + 4}{2 x - 2}] d x

\int e^{- \frac{1}{3}} d x

\int (\frac{2}{sec ( x )}) d x
