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

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

2 (- \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x - 3 ∣) + C

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Take the partial fraction of

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

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

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

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

\int \frac{1}{4 ( x - 3 )} d x = \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x - 3 ∣

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

Add a constant to the solution

= 2 (- \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ x - 3 ∣) + C

\int \frac{1}{x ( 4 - ln ( x ) )} d x

\int x^{2} \cdot 9 - x^{2} d x

\int e^{3 x} cos (e^{3 x}) d x

\int \frac{sin ( 3 x )}{( cos ( 3 x ) ) ^{3}} d x

\int 10 - \frac{x}{( x ^{2} + 1 ) ^{2}} d x
