integral of 1/(4x^2-25)

\int \frac{1}{4 x ^{2} - 25} d x

- \frac{1}{20} (ln \frac{2}{5} x + 1 - ln \frac{2}{5} x - 1) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{4 x ^{2} - 25} d x

Apply Integral Substitution

= \int \frac{1}{10 ( u ^{2} - 1 )} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{10} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u ^{2} - 1} d u

Factor

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

= \frac{1}{10} \cdot \int \frac{1}{- ( - u ^{2} + 1 )} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{10} (- \int \frac{1}{- u ^{2} + 1} d u)

Use the common integral:

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

= \frac{1}{10} (- (\frac{ln ∣ u + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ u - 1 ∣}{2}))

Substitute back

u = \frac{2}{5} x

= \frac{1}{10} (- (\frac{ln \frac{2}{5} x + 1}{2} - \frac{ln \frac{2}{5} x - 1}{2}))

Simplify

\frac{1}{10} (- (\frac{ln \frac{2}{5} x + 1}{2} - \frac{ln \frac{2}{5} x - 1}{2})) : - \frac{1}{20} (ln \frac{2}{5} x + 1 - ln \frac{2}{5} x - 1)

= - \frac{1}{20} (ln \frac{2}{5} x + 1 - ln \frac{2}{5} x - 1)

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{20} (ln \frac{2}{5} x + 1 - ln \frac{2}{5} x - 1) + C

\frac{d y}{d x} = \frac{9 x + 4 y}{9 x + 4 y + 4}

\int_{60}^{v} \frac{1}{- 0.4 v ^{3}} d v

\frac{( \frac{5}{s} - 1 )}{( s + 1 ) ^{2} + 9}

\int \frac{1}{1 + 6 x - 3 x ^{2}} d x

y^{^{'}} - 2 y = 3 e^{- 2 t}
