integral of (x-4)/(x^2-16)

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

ln ∣ x + 4 ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{x - 4}{x ^{2} - 16} : \frac{1}{x + 4}

= \int \frac{1}{x + 4} d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{1}{u} d u

= \int \frac{1}{u} d u

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = x + 4

= ln ∣ x + 4 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= ln ∣ x + 4 ∣ + C

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

\int \frac{1}{5} e^{\frac{- x}{5}} d x

\int (y + 3) d y

\int \frac{3}{e ^{t}} d t

\int 3 sin^{5} (x) cos^{3} (x) d x
