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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Factor

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

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Complete the square

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

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

Apply u-substitution

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

Apply Integral Substitution

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

Take the constant out:

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

= - \frac{1}{2} \cdot \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}

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

Substitute back

= - \frac{1}{2} \frac{ln \frac{x + 1}{2} + 1}{2} - \frac{ln \frac{x + 1}{2} - 1}{2}

Simplify

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int x^{3} (1 + x^{4})^{4} d x

\int x sin (m x) d x

\int (4 - 16 x) sin (4 x) d x

\int \frac{1}{12 x - 1} d x

\int \frac{x ^{2}}{( 9 + x ^{2} ) ^{\frac{3}{2}}} d x
