integral of 1/(sqrt(x+2)-\sqrt{x-2)}

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

\frac{1}{6} ((x + 2)^{\frac{3}{2}} + (x - 2)^{\frac{3}{2}}) + C

Solution steps

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

Multiply by the conjugate of

x + 2 - x - 2 : \frac{4}{x + 2 + x - 2}

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Simplify

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

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

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

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

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

Simplify

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

= \frac{1}{6} ((x + 2)^{\frac{3}{2}} + (x - 2)^{\frac{3}{2}})

Add a constant to the solution

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

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

\int \frac{2 y ^{2} - 3 y + 5}{y} d y

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

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

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