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

\int \frac{x ^{2}}{( 1 - x ^{2} )} d x

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

Solution steps

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

\frac{x ^{2}}{1 - x ^{2}} = \frac{1}{1 - x ^{2}} - 1

= \int \frac{1}{1 - x ^{2}} - 1 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{1}{1 - x ^{2}} d x - \int 1 d x

\int \frac{1}{1 - x ^{2}} d x = \frac{ln ∣ x + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ x - 1 ∣}{2}

\int 1 d x = x

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

Add a constant to the solution

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