integral of (5x+8)/(x^2+2x-8)

\int \frac{5 x + 8}{x ^{2} + 2 x - 8} d x

3 ln ∣ x - 2 ∣ + 2 ln ∣ x + 4 ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{5 x + 8}{x ^{2} + 2 x - 8} d x

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{5 x + 8}{x ^{2} + 2 x - 8} : \frac{3}{x - 2} + \frac{2}{x + 4}

= \int \frac{3}{x - 2} + \frac{2}{x + 4} 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{3}{x - 2} d x + \int \frac{2}{x + 4} d x

\int \frac{3}{x - 2} d x = 3 ln ∣ x - 2 ∣

\int \frac{2}{x + 4} d x = 2 ln ∣ x + 4 ∣

= 3 ln ∣ x - 2 ∣ + 2 ln ∣ x + 4 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= 3 ln ∣ x - 2 ∣ + 2 ln ∣ x + 4 ∣ + C

\int x^{3} + y^{3} d x

\int \frac{x sin ^{2} ( x )}{2} d x

\int \frac{8 + 4 x}{49 + 64 x ^{2}} d x

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

\int sin (6 x) sin (8 x) d x
