integral from 4 to 5 of 4/(x^2-1)

\int_{4}^{5} \frac{4}{x ^{2} - 1} d x

- 2 (ln (\frac{9}{2}) - ln (5))

Decimal Notation

0.21072 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{4}^{5} \frac{4}{x ^{2} - 1} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= 4 \cdot \int_{4}^{5} \frac{1}{x ^{2} - 1} d x

Factor

x^{2} - 1 : - (- x^{2} + 1)

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{- x ^{2} + 1} d x = \frac{ln ∣ x + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ x - 1 ∣}{2}

= 4 (- [\frac{ln ∣ x + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ x - 1 ∣}{2}]_{4}^{5})

Simplify

4 (- [\frac{ln ∣ x + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ x - 1 ∣}{2}]_{4}^{5}) : - 4 [\frac{1}{2} (ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ - ln ∣ x - 1 ∣)]_{4}^{5}

= - 4 [\frac{1}{2} (ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ - ln ∣ x - 1 ∣)]_{4}^{5}

Compute the boundaries:

\frac{ln ( 6 ) - 2 ln ( 2 ) - ln ( 5 ) + ln ( 3 )}{2}

= - 4 \cdot \frac{ln ( 6 ) - 2 ln ( 2 ) - ln ( 5 ) + ln ( 3 )}{2}

Simplify

= - 2 (ln (\frac{9}{2}) - ln (5))

\int_{0}^{2 π} cos^{2} (t) sin (t) d t

\int_{1 - y}^{- y^{2} + y + 1} 2 y d y

\int_{0}^{t} e^{- t + x} cos (x) d x

\int_{1}^{16} \frac{1}{1 + x} d x

\int_{2}^{\infty} u \cdot e^{- u} d u
