integral of 1/(x(x-4)^2)

\int \frac{1}{x ( x - 4 ) ^{2}} d x

\frac{1}{16} ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{16} ln ∣ x - 4 ∣ - \frac{1}{4 ( x - 4 )} + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{x ( x - 4 ) ^{2}} d x

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{x ( x - 4 ) ^{2}} : \frac{1}{16 x} - \frac{1}{16 ( x - 4 )} + \frac{1}{4 ( x - 4 ) ^{2}}

= \int \frac{1}{16 x} - \frac{1}{16 ( x - 4 )} + \frac{1}{4 ( x - 4 ) ^{2}} 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}{16 x} d x - \int \frac{1}{16 ( x - 4 )} d x + \int \frac{1}{4 ( x - 4 ) ^{2}} d x

\int \frac{1}{16 x} d x = \frac{1}{16} ln ∣ x ∣

\int \frac{1}{16 ( x - 4 )} d x = \frac{1}{16} ln ∣ x - 4 ∣

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

= \frac{1}{16} ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{16} ln ∣ x - 4 ∣ - \frac{1}{4 ( x - 4 )}

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{16} ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{16} ln ∣ x - 4 ∣ - \frac{1}{4 ( x - 4 )} + C

\frac{d}{d x} (4 sin (x) cos (x) + 4 sin (x))

\int \frac{1}{( a + b y ) ^{3}} d y

\int \frac{y}{4 - y ^{2}} d y

\frac{\partial}{\partial z} (5 x^{2} - 3 x y + x yz)

\frac{\partial}{\partial t} (ln (3 x + 3 c t))
