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

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

\frac{1}{5} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ + \frac{1}{5} (- \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 4 - \frac{1}{2} arctan (\frac{x}{2})) + C

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{( x - 1 ) ( x ^{2} + 4 )} : \frac{1}{5 ( x - 1 )} + \frac{- x - 1}{5 ( x ^{2} + 4 )}

= \int \frac{1}{5 ( x - 1 )} + \frac{- x - 1}{5 ( x ^{2} + 4 )} 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{1}{5 ( x - 1 )} d x + \int \frac{- x - 1}{5 ( x ^{2} + 4 )} d x

\int \frac{1}{5 ( x - 1 )} d x = \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣

\int \frac{- x - 1}{5 ( x ^{2} + 4 )} d x = \frac{1}{5} (- \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 4 - \frac{1}{2} arctan (\frac{x}{2}))

= \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ + \frac{1}{5} (- \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 4 - \frac{1}{2} arctan (\frac{x}{2}))

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ + \frac{1}{5} (- \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 4 - \frac{1}{2} arctan (\frac{x}{2})) + C

\int 5 e^{3 x + 1} d x

\int \frac{4}{100 - x} d x

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

\int x^{3} (1 + 9 x^{4})^{- \frac{3}{2}} d x

\int x^{5} 2 - x^{3} d x
