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

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

\frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} - 2 + C

Solution steps

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

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{1}{2 u} d u

= \int \frac{1}{2 u} 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} d u

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = x^{2} - 2

= \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} - 2

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} - 2 + C

\int - 6 cos (t) d t

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

\int (1 - 4 x)^{\frac{2}{3}} d x

\int - 8 csc^{2} (x) d x

\int sec^{2} (\frac{t}{4}) d t
