integral of 1/(2x^2+5x-3)

\int \frac{1}{2 x ^{2} + 5 x - 3} d x

\frac{1}{7} ln ∣ 2 x - 1 ∣ - \frac{1}{7} ln ∣ x + 3 ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{2 x ^{2} + 5 x - 3} d x

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{2 x ^{2} + 5 x - 3} : \frac{2}{7 ( 2 x - 1 )} - \frac{1}{7 ( x + 3 )}

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

\int \frac{2}{7 ( 2 x - 1 )} d x = \frac{1}{7} ln ∣ 2 x - 1 ∣

\int \frac{1}{7 ( x + 3 )} d x = \frac{1}{7} ln ∣ x + 3 ∣

= \frac{1}{7} ln ∣ 2 x - 1 ∣ - \frac{1}{7} ln ∣ x + 3 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{7} ln ∣ 2 x - 1 ∣ - \frac{1}{7} ln ∣ x + 3 ∣ + C
