What is the integral of (x-1)/(x^2+5x+6) ?

The integral of (x-1)/(x^2+5x+6) is -3ln|x+2|+4ln|x+3|+C

integral of (x-1)/(x^2+5x+6)

\int \frac{x - 1}{x ^{2} + 5 x + 6} d x

- 3 ln ∣ x + 2 ∣ + 4 ln ∣ x + 3 ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{x - 1}{x ^{2} + 5 x + 6} d x

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{x - 1}{x ^{2} + 5 x + 6} : - \frac{3}{x + 2} + \frac{4}{x + 3}

= \int - \frac{3}{x + 2} + \frac{4}{x + 3} 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{3}{x + 2} d x + \int \frac{4}{x + 3} d x

\int \frac{3}{x + 2} d x = 3 ln ∣ x + 2 ∣

\int \frac{4}{x + 3} d x = 4 ln ∣ x + 3 ∣

= - 3 ln ∣ x + 2 ∣ + 4 ln ∣ x + 3 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - 3 ln ∣ x + 2 ∣ + 4 ln ∣ x + 3 ∣ + C

\int tan^{- 8} (x) sec^{4} (x) d x

\int sin (3 t) sec^{2} (cos (3 t)) d t

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

\int (4 cosh (x) + x^{5}) d x

\int x^{2} + z^{2} d z
