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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Expand

\frac{2 + x}{1 - x ^{2}} : \frac{2}{1 - x ^{2}} + \frac{x}{1 - x ^{2}}

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

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

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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