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

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

\frac{1}{4} (\frac{1}{2} ln \frac{x}{2} - 1 + \frac{1}{2} (- \frac{1}{2} ln \frac{x ^{2}}{4} + 1 - arctan (\frac{x}{2}))) + C

Solution steps

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

Apply Integral Substitution

= \int \frac{1}{4 ( u - 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}{4} \cdot \int \frac{1}{( u - 1 ) ( u ^{2} + 1 )} d u

Take the partial fraction of

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

= \frac{1}{4} \cdot \int \frac{1}{2 ( u - 1 )} + \frac{- u - 1}{2 ( u ^{2} + 1 )} d u

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

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

\int \frac{1}{2 ( u - 1 )} d u = \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ u - 1 ∣

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

= \frac{1}{4} (\frac{1}{2} ln ∣ u - 1 ∣ + \frac{1}{2} (- \frac{1}{2} ln u^{2} + 1 - arctan (u)))

Substitute back

u = \frac{x}{2}

= \frac{1}{4} (\frac{1}{2} ln \frac{x}{2} - 1 + \frac{1}{2} (- \frac{1}{2} ln (\frac{x}{2})^{2} + 1 - arctan (\frac{x}{2})))

(\frac{x}{2})^{2} = \frac{x ^{2}}{4}

= \frac{1}{4} (\frac{1}{2} ln \frac{x}{2} - 1 + \frac{1}{2} (- \frac{1}{2} ln \frac{x ^{2}}{4} + 1 - arctan (\frac{x}{2})))

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{4} (\frac{1}{2} ln \frac{x}{2} - 1 + \frac{1}{2} (- \frac{1}{2} ln \frac{x ^{2}}{4} + 1 - arctan (\frac{x}{2}))) + C

\frac{d}{d t} (cos^{3} (t) + sin^{3} (t))

\frac{\partial}{\partial z} (3 e^{x} cos (yz))

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{5 x}{7 x ^{2} + 1})

y^{^{''}} + a y = 0

n = 1 \sum \infty n^{2}
