The solution
Detail solution
-
There are multiple ways to do this integral.
Method #1
-
Rewrite the integrand:
x2−4x+1=4(x+2)1+4(x−2)3
-
Integrate term-by-term:
-
The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
∫4(x+2)1dx=4∫x+21dx
-
Let u=x+2.
Then let du=dx and substitute du:
∫u1du
-
The integral of u1 is log(u).
Now substitute u back in:
log(x+2)
So, the result is: 4log(x+2)
-
The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
∫4(x−2)3dx=43∫x−21dx
-
Let u=x−2.
Then let du=dx and substitute du:
∫u1du
-
The integral of u1 is log(u).
Now substitute u back in:
log(x−2)
So, the result is: 43log(x−2)
The result is: 43log(x−2)+4log(x+2)
Method #2
-
Rewrite the integrand:
x2−4x+1=x2−4x+x2−41
-
Integrate term-by-term:
-
The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
∫x2−4xdx=2∫x2−42xdx
-
Let u=x2−4.
Then let du=2xdx and substitute 2du:
∫2u1du
-
The integral of u1 is log(u).
Now substitute u back in:
log(x2−4)
So, the result is: 2log(x2−4)
-
Rewrite the integrand:
x2−41=4−x+21+x−21
-
The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
∫4−x+21+x−21dx=4∫(−x+21+x−21)dx
-
Integrate term-by-term:
-
The integral of x−21 is log(x−2).
-
The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
∫(−x+21)dx=−∫x+21dx
-
The integral of x+21 is log(x+2).
So, the result is: −log(x+2)
The result is: log(x−2)−log(x+2)
So, the result is: 4log(x−2)−4log(x+2)
The result is: 4log(x−2)−4log(x+2)+2log(x2−4)
-
Add the constant of integration:
43log(x−2)+4log(x+2)+constant
The answer is:
43log(x−2)+4log(x+2)+constant
The answer (Indefinite)
