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

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

\frac{1}{9} ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{9} ln ∣ x + 3 ∣ + \frac{1}{3 ( x + 3 )} + C

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{x ( x + 3 ) ^{2}} : \frac{1}{9 x} - \frac{1}{9 ( x + 3 )} - \frac{1}{3 ( x + 3 ) ^{2}}

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

\int \frac{1}{9 x} d x = \frac{1}{9} ln ∣ x ∣

\int \frac{1}{9 ( x + 3 )} d x = \frac{1}{9} ln ∣ x + 3 ∣

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

= \frac{1}{9} ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{9} ln ∣ x + 3 ∣ - (- \frac{1}{3 ( x + 3 )})

Simplify

= \frac{1}{9} ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{9} ln ∣ x + 3 ∣ + \frac{1}{3 ( x + 3 )}

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{9} ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{9} ln ∣ x + 3 ∣ + \frac{1}{3 ( x + 3 )} + C

\int (9 x + 8)^{2} d x

\int (x + 7) (x - 2) d x

\int \frac{sin ( 2 x ) - cos ( 2 x )}{sin ( 2 x )} d x

\int sec (\frac{t}{2}) d t

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