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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Expand

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

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

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

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

Simplify

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\frac{d}{d x} (- \frac{3}{4} x^{- \frac{2}{3}})

\int \frac{7}{4 x ^{3}} d x

t y^{^{'}} - y = \frac{- t ^{3}}{y ^{2}}, y (1) = 2

\int_{0}^{3} (3 t - 5) d t

n = 1 \sum \infty n^{2} e^{n^{3}}
