Soluzione
Perform partial fraction decomposition (steps can be seen »):
∫1−x21dx=∫(2(x+1)1−2(x−1)1)dx
Integrate term by term:
∫(2(x+1)1−2(x−1)1)dx=(−∫2(x−1)1dx+∫2(x+1)1dx)
Apply the constant multiple rule ∫cf(x)dx=c∫f(x)dx with c=21 and f(x)=x+11:
−∫2(x−1)1dx+∫2(x+1)1dx=−∫2(x−1)1dx+(2∫x+11dx)
Let u=x+1.
Then du=(x+1)′dx=1dx (steps can be seen »), and we have that dx=du.
The integral can be rewritten as
−∫2(x−1)1dx+2∫x+11dx=−∫2(x−1)1dx+2∫u1du
The integral of u1 is ∫u1du=ln(∣u∣):
−∫2(x−1)1dx+2∫u1du=−∫2(x−1)1dx+2ln(∣u∣)
Recall that u=x+1:
2ln(∣u∣)−∫2(x−1)1dx=2ln(∣(x+1)∣)−∫2(x−1)1dx
Apply the constant multiple rule ∫cf(x)dx=c∫f(x)dx with c=21 and f(x)=x−11:
2ln(∣x+1∣)−∫2(x−1)1dx=2ln(∣x+1∣)−(2∫x−11dx)
Let u=x−1.
Then du=(x−1)′dx=1dx (steps can be seen »), and we have that dx=du.
Thus,
2ln(∣x+1∣)−2∫x−11dx=2ln(∣x+1∣)−2∫u1du
The integral of u1 is ∫u1du=ln(∣u∣):
2ln(∣x+1∣)−2∫u1du=2ln(∣x+1∣)−2ln(∣u∣)
Recall that u=x−1:
2ln(∣x+1∣)−2ln(∣u∣)=2ln(∣x+1∣)−2ln(∣(x−1)∣)
Pertanto,
∫1−x21dx=−2ln(∣x−1∣)+2ln(∣x+1∣)
Semplificare:
∫1−x21dx=2−ln(∣x−1∣)+ln(∣x+1∣)
Aggiungere la costante di integrazione:
∫1−x21dx=2−ln(∣x−1∣)+ln(∣x+1∣)+C
Answer: ∫1−x21dx=2−ln(∣x−1∣)+ln(∣x+1∣)+C
