integral of (x^2)/(x^6-1)

\int \frac{x ^{2}}{x ^{6} - 1} d x

- \frac{1}{6} (ln x^{3} + 1 - ln x^{3} - 1) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{x ^{2}}{x ^{6} - 1} d x

Apply u-substitution

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

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Factor

u^{2} - 1 : - (- u^{2} + 1)

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{- u ^{2} + 1} d u = \frac{ln ∣ u + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ u - 1 ∣}{2}

= \frac{1}{3} (- (\frac{ln ∣ u + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ u - 1 ∣}{2}))

Substitute back

u = x^{3}

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

Simplify

\frac{1}{3} (- (\frac{ln x ^{3} + 1}{2} - \frac{ln x ^{3} - 1}{2})) : - \frac{1}{6} (ln x^{3} + 1 - ln x^{3} - 1)

= - \frac{1}{6} (ln x^{3} + 1 - ln x^{3} - 1)

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{6} (ln x^{3} + 1 - ln x^{3} - 1) + C

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

\int \frac{x - 5}{( x - 2 ) ( x - 3 ) ^{2}} d x

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

\int (e^{4 x} + \frac{4}{3 x - 5}) d x

\int x^{2} (x^{2} - 49)^{\frac{3}{2}} d x
