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

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

ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ + ln x^{2} + 1 + 3 arctan (x) + C

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

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

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

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

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

= ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ + ln x^{2} + 1 + 3 arctan (x)

Add a constant to the solution

= ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ + ln x^{2} + 1 + 3 arctan (x) + C
