integral of 1/((x^2-16)^2)

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

\frac{1}{256} ln ∣ x + 4 ∣ - \frac{1}{64 ( x + 4 )} - \frac{1}{256} ln ∣ x - 4 ∣ - \frac{1}{64 ( x - 4 )} + C

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{( x ^{2} - 16 ) ^{2}} : \frac{1}{256 ( x + 4 )} + \frac{1}{64 ( x + 4 ) ^{2}} - \frac{1}{256 ( x - 4 )} + \frac{1}{64 ( x - 4 ) ^{2}}

= \int \frac{1}{256 ( x + 4 )} + \frac{1}{64 ( x + 4 ) ^{2}} - \frac{1}{256 ( x - 4 )} + \frac{1}{64 ( 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}{256 ( x + 4 )} d x + \int \frac{1}{64 ( x + 4 ) ^{2}} d x - \int \frac{1}{256 ( x - 4 )} d x + \int \frac{1}{64 ( x - 4 ) ^{2}} d x

\int \frac{1}{256 ( x + 4 )} d x = \frac{1}{256} ln ∣ x + 4 ∣

\int \frac{1}{64 ( x + 4 ) ^{2}} d x = - \frac{1}{64 ( x + 4 )}

\int \frac{1}{256 ( x - 4 )} d x = \frac{1}{256} ln ∣ x - 4 ∣

\int \frac{1}{64 ( x - 4 ) ^{2}} d x = - \frac{1}{64 ( x - 4 )}

= \frac{1}{256} ln ∣ x + 4 ∣ - \frac{1}{64 ( x + 4 )} - \frac{1}{256} ln ∣ x - 4 ∣ - \frac{1}{64 ( x - 4 )}

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{256} ln ∣ x + 4 ∣ - \frac{1}{64 ( x + 4 )} - \frac{1}{256} ln ∣ x - 4 ∣ - \frac{1}{64 ( x - 4 )} + C

y^{^{'}} = y^{2}, y (0) = 2

\frac{d}{d x} ((x^{2} \cdot 5^{x})^{9})

x \to 0 lim (\frac{7}{x} - \frac{7}{x ^{2} - x})

x y^{^{''}} + 2 y^{^{'}} - 4 = 0

x y^{^{'}} + y = 3 x y^{2}
