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

\int \frac{2}{x ^{2} + x - 2} d x

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

Solution steps

\int \frac{2}{x ^{2} + x - 2} d x

Take the constant out:

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

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

Complete the square

x^{2} + x - 2 : (x + \frac{1}{2})^{2} - \frac{9}{4}

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{1}{( x + \frac{1}{2} ) ^{2} - \frac{9}{4}} d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{4}{4 u ^{2} - 9} d u

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{4}{4 u ^{2} - 9} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= 2 \cdot 4 \cdot \int \frac{1}{4 u ^{2} - 9} d u

Apply Integral Substitution

= 2 \cdot 4 \cdot \int \frac{1}{6 ( v ^{2} - 1 )} d v

Take the constant out:

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

= 2 \cdot 4 \cdot \frac{1}{6} \cdot \int \frac{1}{v ^{2} - 1} d v

Factor

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

= 2 \cdot 4 \cdot \frac{1}{6} \cdot \int \frac{1}{- ( - v ^{2} + 1 )} d v

Take the constant out:

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

= 2 \cdot 4 \cdot \frac{1}{6} (- \int \frac{1}{- v ^{2} + 1} d v)

Use the common integral:

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

= 2 \cdot 4 \cdot \frac{1}{6} (- (\frac{ln ∣ v + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ v - 1 ∣}{2}))

Substitute back

= 2 \cdot 4 \cdot \frac{1}{6} (- (\frac{ln \frac{2}{3} ( x + \frac{1}{2} ) + 1}{2} - \frac{ln \frac{2}{3} ( x + \frac{1}{2} ) - 1}{2}))

Simplify

2 \cdot 4 \cdot \frac{1}{6} (- (\frac{ln \frac{2}{3} ( x + \frac{1}{2} ) + 1}{2} - \frac{ln \frac{2}{3} ( x + \frac{1}{2} ) - 1}{2})) : - \frac{2}{3} (ln \frac{2}{3} x + \frac{4}{3} - ln \frac{2}{3} x - \frac{2}{3})

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int (e^{b x} \cdot x) d x

\int 4 cos (t) d t

\int cot^{2} (x) (1) d x

\int sin (4 x) sin (n x) d x

y^{^{''}} - 3 y^{^{'}} - 10 y = 0, y (0) = 1, y^{^{'}} (0) = 10
