integral from 0 to 1 of (12)/(x^2-9)

\int_{0}^{1} \frac{12}{x ^{2} - 9} d x

- 2 ln (2)

Decimal Notation

- 1.38629 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{1} \frac{12}{x ^{2} - 9} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= 12 \cdot \int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{x ^{2} - 9} d x

Apply Integral Substitution

= 12 \cdot \int_{0}^{\frac{1}{3}} \frac{1}{3 ( u ^{2} - 1 )} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= 12 \cdot \frac{1}{3} \cdot \int_{0}^{\frac{1}{3}} \frac{1}{u ^{2} - 1} d u

Factor

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

= 12 \cdot \frac{1}{3} \cdot \int_{0}^{\frac{1}{3}} \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

= 12 \cdot \frac{1}{3} (- \int_{0}^{\frac{1}{3}} \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}

= 12 \cdot \frac{1}{3} (- [\frac{ln ∣ u + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ u - 1 ∣}{2}]_{0}^{\frac{1}{3}})

Simplify

12 \cdot \frac{1}{3} (- [\frac{ln ∣ u + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ u - 1 ∣}{2}]_{0}^{\frac{1}{3}}) : - 4 [\frac{1}{2} (ln ∣ u + 1 ∣ - ln ∣ u - 1 ∣)]_{0}^{\frac{1}{3}}

= - 4 [\frac{1}{2} (ln ∣ u + 1 ∣ - ln ∣ u - 1 ∣)]_{0}^{\frac{1}{3}}

Compute the boundaries:

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

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

Simplify

= - 2 ln (2)

\int_{0}^{1} 2 - 2 cos (x) d x

\int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 2 x} d x

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{24}} x tan^{2} (8 x) d x

\int_{1}^{2} \frac{x ^{2} + 1}{2 x} d x

\int_{- 1}^{125} \frac{1}{x ^{\frac{1}{3}}} d x
