integral of (3x-1)/(x^2-1)

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

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

Solution steps

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

Expand

\frac{3 x - 1}{x ^{2} - 1} : \frac{3 x}{x ^{2} - 1} - \frac{1}{x ^{2} - 1}

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

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

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

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

Simplify

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{9 - x ^{2}}{8 x})

n = 1 \sum \infty \frac{( x ^{n} )}{7 n}

- 2 x

\int t^{2} - 2 cos (t) d t

\int (14 x + 6 x) d x
