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

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

- \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x - 2 ∣ + \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x - 4 ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

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

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

\int \frac{1}{2 ( x - 2 )} d x = \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x - 2 ∣

\int \frac{1}{2 ( x - 4 )} d x = \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x - 4 ∣

= - \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x - 2 ∣ + \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x - 4 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x - 2 ∣ + \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x - 4 ∣ + C

\frac{\partial}{\partial y} (x^{3} + y^{3} - 6 x y)

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (\frac{x ^{2} - x}{( L + 2 x ) ^{3}})

x \to + 2 - lim (x + c)

\frac{d}{d x} (\frac{2}{9 + x ^{2}})

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