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

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

2 ln ∣ x ∣ - ln x^{2} + 1 + arctan (x) + C

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

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

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

\int \frac{2}{x} d x = 2 ln ∣ x ∣

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

= 2 ln ∣ x ∣ - ln x^{2} + 1 + arctan (x)

Add a constant to the solution

= 2 ln ∣ x ∣ - ln x^{2} + 1 + arctan (x) + C
