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

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

3 ln ∣ x ∣ + \frac{2}{x} - 3 ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{x - 2}{x ^{2} ( x + 1 )} : \frac{3}{x} - \frac{2}{x ^{2}} - \frac{3}{x + 1}

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

\int \frac{3}{x} d x = 3 ln ∣ x ∣

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

\int \frac{3}{x + 1} d x = 3 ln ∣ x + 1 ∣

= 3 ln ∣ x ∣ - (- \frac{2}{x}) - 3 ln ∣ x + 1 ∣

Simplify

= 3 ln ∣ x ∣ + \frac{2}{x} - 3 ln ∣ x + 1 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= 3 ln ∣ x ∣ + \frac{2}{x} - 3 ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + C

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

\int \frac{t}{t} d t

\int t^{\frac{2}{5}} ln (t) d t

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

\frac{1}{2 ^{x}}
