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

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

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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