integral from 0 to 1 of (16)/(x^2-16)

\int_{0}^{1} \frac{16}{x ^{2} - 16} d x

- 2 (ln (\frac{5}{4}) - ln (\frac{3}{4}))

Decimal

- 1.02165 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{1} \frac{16}{x ^{2} - 16} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= 16 \cdot \int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{x ^{2} - 16} d x

Apply Integral Substitution

= 16 \cdot \int_{0}^{\frac{1}{4}} \frac{1}{4 ( u ^{2} - 1 )} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= 16 \cdot \frac{1}{4} \cdot \int_{0}^{\frac{1}{4}} \frac{1}{u ^{2} - 1} d u

Factor

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

= 16 \cdot \frac{1}{4} \cdot \int_{0}^{\frac{1}{4}} \frac{1}{- ( - u ^{2} + 1 )} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= 16 \cdot \frac{1}{4} (- \int_{0}^{\frac{1}{4}} \frac{1}{- u ^{2} + 1} d u)

Use the common integral:

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

= 16 \cdot \frac{1}{4} (- [\frac{ln ∣ u + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ u - 1 ∣}{2}]_{0}^{\frac{1}{4}})

Simplify

16 \cdot \frac{1}{4} (- [\frac{ln ∣ u + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ u - 1 ∣}{2}]_{0}^{\frac{1}{4}}) : - 4 [\frac{1}{2} (ln ∣ u + 1 ∣ - ln ∣ u - 1 ∣)]_{0}^{\frac{1}{4}}

= - 4 [\frac{1}{2} (ln ∣ u + 1 ∣ - ln ∣ u - 1 ∣)]_{0}^{\frac{1}{4}}

Compute the boundaries:

\frac{ln ( \frac{5}{4} ) - ln ( \frac{3}{4} )}{2}

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

Simplify

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

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} x cos^{3} (x) d x

\int_{- 2}^{4} 50 + 3 x^{2} d x

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} e^{- x} cos (x) d x

\int_{0}^{2 π} 9 t 2 d t

\int_{- 1}^{2} [(x + 3) - (x^{2} + 1)] d x
