integral of (x^2-3)/(x^2+1)

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

- 4 arctan (x) + x + C

Solution steps

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

\frac{x ^{2} - 3}{x ^{2} + 1} = - \frac{4}{x ^{2} + 1} + 1

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

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

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

\int 1 d x = x

= - 4 arctan (x) + x

Add a constant to the solution

= - 4 arctan (x) + x + C

\int (\frac{1}{x} - 1) d x

\int 6 x^{2} sin (x^{3} - 5) d x

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

\int tan^{2} (θ) sec^{3} (θ) d θ

\int (tan (x) - 2) d x
