integral of (3*x-4)/(x^2-x-2)

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

\frac{7}{3} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + \frac{2}{3} ln ∣ x - 2 ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{3 x - 4}{x ^{2} - x - 2} : \frac{7}{3 ( x + 1 )} + \frac{2}{3 ( x - 2 )}

= \int \frac{7}{3 ( x + 1 )} + \frac{2}{3 ( 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

= \int \frac{7}{3 ( x + 1 )} d x + \int \frac{2}{3 ( x - 2 )} d x

\int \frac{7}{3 ( x + 1 )} d x = \frac{7}{3} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣

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

= \frac{7}{3} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + \frac{2}{3} ln ∣ x - 2 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{7}{3} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + \frac{2}{3} ln ∣ x - 2 ∣ + C

\int cos^{2} (39 x) d x

\int 4^{5 t} d t

\int 2 cos (x) + 2 x d x

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

\int (x^{2} + 1) cos (3 x) d x
