integral of (x^2+3)/(x^2-4)-x

\int \frac{x ^{2} + 3}{x ^{2} - 4} - x d x

- \frac{7}{4} (ln \frac{x}{2} + 1 - ln \frac{x}{2} - 1) + x - \frac{x ^{2}}{2} + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{x ^{2} + 3}{x ^{2} - 4} - x 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{x ^{2} + 3}{x ^{2} - 4} d x - \int x d x

\int \frac{x ^{2} + 3}{x ^{2} - 4} d x = - \frac{7}{4} (ln \frac{x}{2} + 1 - ln \frac{x}{2} - 1) + x

\int x d x = \frac{x ^{2}}{2}

= - \frac{7}{4} (ln \frac{x}{2} + 1 - ln \frac{x}{2} - 1) + x - \frac{x ^{2}}{2}

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{7}{4} (ln \frac{x}{2} + 1 - ln \frac{x}{2} - 1) + x - \frac{x ^{2}}{2} + C
