What is the integral of (x-8)/(x^2+9) ?

The integral of (x-8)/(x^2+9) is 1/2 ln|x^2+9|-8/3 arctan(x/3)+C

integral of (x-8)/(x^2+9)

\int \frac{x - 8}{x ^{2} + 9} d x

\frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 9 - \frac{8}{3} arctan (\frac{x}{3}) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{x - 8}{x ^{2} + 9} d x

Expand

\frac{x - 8}{x ^{2} + 9} : \frac{x}{x ^{2} + 9} - \frac{8}{x ^{2} + 9}

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{x}{x ^{2} + 9} d x - \int \frac{8}{x ^{2} + 9} d x

\int \frac{x}{x ^{2} + 9} d x = \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 9

\int \frac{8}{x ^{2} + 9} d x = \frac{8}{3} arctan (\frac{x}{3})

= \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 9 - \frac{8}{3} arctan (\frac{x}{3})

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 9 - \frac{8}{3} arctan (\frac{x}{3}) + C

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

\int (x^{2} + 2) (x^{3} + 6 x + 1)^{\frac{1}{2}} d x

\int cot^{5} (\frac{2}{5}) x csc^{9} (\frac{2}{5}) x d x

\int \frac{( x - 1 )}{3 x ^{2} - 4 x + 3} d x

\int \frac{2}{11 + 10 w - w ^{2}} d w
