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

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

ln x^{2} - 1 + C

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Apply u-substitution

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{1}{2 u} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u} d u

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = x^{2} - 1

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} - 1

Simplify

2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} - 1 : ln x^{2} - 1

= ln x^{2} - 1

Add a constant to the solution

= ln x^{2} - 1 + C

\frac{d}{d x} (x^{4} - 9 x^{2} + 16)

\int \frac{ln ( 4 x )}{x} d x

\frac{d}{d x} (ln (cosh (4 x)))

\int tan^{2} (2 y) d y

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