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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Simplify

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int 18 sin^{5} (x) d x

\int \frac{1}{6 - x ^{2}} d x

\int \frac{3 x + 2}{( 6 x ^{2} + 8 x ) ^{5}} d x

\int + z e^{2 z} d z

\int 9 x^{3} sin (x^{2}) d x
