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

\int \frac{x ^{4}}{x ^{2} - x - 2} d x

\frac{x ^{3}}{3} + \frac{x ^{2}}{2} + 3 x - \frac{1}{3} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + \frac{16}{3} ln ∣ x - 2 ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{x ^{4}}{x ^{2} - x - 2} d x

Long division

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

= \int x^{2} + x + 3 + \frac{5 x + 6}{x ^{2} - x - 2} 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 x^{2} d x + \int x d x + \int 3 d x + \int \frac{5 x + 6}{x ^{2} - x - 2} d x

\int x^{2} d x = \frac{x ^{3}}{3}

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

\int 3 d x = 3 x

\int \frac{5 x + 6}{x ^{2} - x - 2} d x = - \frac{1}{3} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + \frac{16}{3} ln ∣ x - 2 ∣

= \frac{x ^{3}}{3} + \frac{x ^{2}}{2} + 3 x - \frac{1}{3} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + \frac{16}{3} ln ∣ x - 2 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{x ^{3}}{3} + \frac{x ^{2}}{2} + 3 x - \frac{1}{3} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + \frac{16}{3} ln ∣ x - 2 ∣ + C

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

\int \frac{3}{300 + x} d x

\int - cos (7 x) d x

\int \frac{4}{5} csc^{2} (\frac{x}{5}) d x

\int \frac{8 x ^{4} + 18 x ^{3} - 7 x}{x} d x
