integral of 5/(x(x+4)^2)

\int \frac{5}{x ( x + 4 ) ^{2}} d x

5 (\frac{1}{16} ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{16} ln ∣ x + 4 ∣ + \frac{1}{4 ( x + 4 )}) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{5}{x ( x + 4 ) ^{2}} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= 5 \cdot \int \frac{1}{x ( x + 4 ) ^{2}} d x

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{x ( x + 4 ) ^{2}} : \frac{1}{16 x} - \frac{1}{16 ( x + 4 )} - \frac{1}{4 ( x + 4 ) ^{2}}

= 5 \cdot \int \frac{1}{16 x} - \frac{1}{16 ( x + 4 )} - \frac{1}{4 ( x + 4 ) ^{2}} 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

= 5 (\int \frac{1}{16 x} d x - \int \frac{1}{16 ( x + 4 )} d x - \int \frac{1}{4 ( x + 4 ) ^{2}} d x)

\int \frac{1}{16 x} d x = \frac{1}{16} ln ∣ x ∣

\int \frac{1}{16 ( x + 4 )} d x = \frac{1}{16} ln ∣ x + 4 ∣

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

= 5 (\frac{1}{16} ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{16} ln ∣ x + 4 ∣ - (- \frac{1}{4 ( x + 4 )}))

Simplify

= 5 (\frac{1}{16} ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{16} ln ∣ x + 4 ∣ + \frac{1}{4 ( x + 4 )})

Add a constant to the solution

= 5 (\frac{1}{16} ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{16} ln ∣ x + 4 ∣ + \frac{1}{4 ( x + 4 )}) + C

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

\int 3 x cos (nπ x) d x

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

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

\int 14 x ln (4 x) d x
