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

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

- \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ - \frac{4}{x - 1} + \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Factor

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

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

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{3 x + 5}{( x - 1 ) ^{2} ( x + 1 )} : - \frac{1}{2 ( x - 1 )} + \frac{4}{( x - 1 ) ^{2}} + \frac{1}{2 ( x + 1 )}

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

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

\int \frac{4}{( x - 1 ) ^{2}} d x = - \frac{4}{x - 1}

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

= - \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ - \frac{4}{x - 1} + \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ - \frac{4}{x - 1} + \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + C
