integral of 1/(-x^2+4)

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

\frac{1}{4} (ln \frac{x}{2} + 1 - ln \frac{x}{2} - 1) + C

Solution steps

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

Apply Integral Substitution

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

Substitute back

u = \frac{x}{2}

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

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} (\frac{ln \frac{x}{2} + 1}{2} - \frac{ln \frac{x}{2} - 1}{2}) : \frac{1}{4} (ln \frac{x}{2} + 1 - ln \frac{x}{2} - 1)

= \frac{1}{4} (ln \frac{x}{2} + 1 - ln \frac{x}{2} - 1)

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{4} (ln \frac{x}{2} + 1 - ln \frac{x}{2} - 1) + C

\int \frac{2}{x} ln (x) d x

\int \frac{tan ( t )}{sin ( 2 t )} d t

\int sec^{8} (3 x) tan (3 x) d x

\int + (2 a x + b) (a x^{2} + b x)^{7} d x

\int x^{\frac{- 4}{6}} d x
