integral of 2/(x^3-1)

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

2 (\frac{1}{3} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ - \frac{1}{6} ln 4 x^{2} + 4 x + 4 - \frac{1}{3} arctan (\frac{1}{3} (2 x + 1))) + C

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Take the partial fraction of

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

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

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

\int \frac{1}{3 ( x - 1 )} d x = \frac{1}{3} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣

\int \frac{- x - 2}{3 ( x ^{2} + x + 1 )} d x = \frac{1}{6 3} (- 3 ln 4 x^{2} + 4 x + 4 - 6 arctan (\frac{2 x + 1}{3}))

= 2 (\frac{1}{3} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ + \frac{1}{6 3} (- 3 ln 4 x^{2} + 4 x + 4 - 6 arctan (\frac{2 x + 1}{3})))

Simplify

2 (\frac{1}{3} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ + \frac{1}{6 3} (- 3 ln 4 x^{2} + 4 x + 4 - 6 arctan (\frac{2 x + 1}{3}))) : 2 (\frac{1}{3} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ - \frac{1}{6} ln 4 x^{2} + 4 x + 4 - \frac{1}{3} arctan (\frac{1}{3} (2 x + 1)))

= 2 (\frac{1}{3} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ - \frac{1}{6} ln 4 x^{2} + 4 x + 4 - \frac{1}{3} arctan (\frac{1}{3} (2 x + 1)))

Add a constant to the solution

= 2 (\frac{1}{3} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ - \frac{1}{6} ln 4 x^{2} + 4 x + 4 - \frac{1}{3} arctan (\frac{1}{3} (2 x + 1))) + C

\int (x^{4} - x^{2} y^{4}) d x

\int \frac{8 x ^{2}}{x ^{3} + 2} d x

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

\int 15 r^{2} d r

\int - sin (x) sin (y) d x
