integral of (x^2)/(x^2-1)

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

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

Solution steps

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

Factor

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

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

\frac{x ^{2}}{- x ^{2} + 1} = \frac{1}{- x ^{2} + 1} - 1

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

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

\int 1 d x = x

= - (\frac{ln ∣ x + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ x - 1 ∣}{2} - x)

Simplify

- (\frac{ln ∣ x + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ x - 1 ∣}{2} - x) : - \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ + x

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (x^{\frac{2}{3}} y^{\frac{1}{3}})

\frac{d}{d x} ((1 + x^{2})^{2})

\frac{d}{d x} ((2 x^{4} - 6 x^{2} + 5)^{2})

- y + y^{^{'}} - y = e^{x} cos (x)

\frac{d ^{2} y}{d x ^{2}}, x y + 7 ey (x) = 7 e
