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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

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

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

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

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

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

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

Simplify

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int \frac{( cos ( x ) ) ^{5}}{sin ( x )} d x

\int k sin (k x) cos (k x) d x

\int \frac{3}{x ( x ^{2} + 6 ) ^{2}} d x

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

\int \frac{sin ^{2} ( θ )}{cos ^{2} ( θ )} d θ
