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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

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

Take the partial fraction of

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

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{1}{2 ( x - 1 )} + \frac{- x + 1}{2 ( 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

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

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

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

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

Simplify

2 (\frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ + \frac{1}{2} (- \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 1 + arctan (x))) : ln ∣ x - 1 ∣ - \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 1 + arctan (x)

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

Add a constant to the solution

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