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

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

- \frac{1}{5} (ln \frac{2 x + 1}{5} + 1 - ln \frac{2 x + 1}{5} - 1) + C

Solution steps

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

Complete the square

x^{2} + x - 1 : (x + \frac{1}{2})^{2} - \frac{5}{4}

= \int \frac{1}{( x + \frac{1}{2} ) ^{2} - \frac{5}{4}} d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{4}{4 u ^{2} - 5} d u

= \int \frac{4}{4 u ^{2} - 5} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= 4 \cdot \int \frac{1}{4 u ^{2} - 5} d u

Apply Integral Substitution

= 4 \cdot \int \frac{1}{2 5 ( v ^{2} - 1 )} d v

Take the constant out:

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

= 4 \cdot \frac{1}{2 5} \cdot \int \frac{1}{v ^{2} - 1} d v

Factor

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

= 4 \cdot \frac{1}{2 5} \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

= 4 \cdot \frac{1}{2 5} (- \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}

= 4 \cdot \frac{1}{2 5} (- (\frac{ln ∣ v + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ v - 1 ∣}{2}))

Substitute back

= 4 \cdot \frac{1}{2 5} - \frac{ln \frac{2}{5} ( x + \frac{1}{2} ) + 1}{2} - \frac{ln \frac{2}{5} ( x + \frac{1}{2} ) - 1}{2}

Simplify

4 \cdot \frac{1}{2 5} - \frac{ln \frac{2}{5} ( x + \frac{1}{2} ) + 1}{2} - \frac{ln \frac{2}{5} ( x + \frac{1}{2} ) - 1}{2} : - \frac{1}{5} (ln \frac{2 x + 1}{5} + 1 - ln \frac{2 x + 1}{5} - 1)

= - \frac{1}{5} (ln \frac{2 x + 1}{5} + 1 - ln \frac{2 x + 1}{5} - 1)

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{5} (ln \frac{2 x + 1}{5} + 1 - ln \frac{2 x + 1}{5} - 1) + C

\int_{1}^{4} \frac{4}{x ^{2} + 4 x + 4} d x

x \to 0 lim (- 2)

\frac{d}{d x} (8 cos (3 x))

\int x I n (x) d x

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{2000 x}{4 x + 75})
