integral of 1/(2x^2-7x+5)

\int \frac{1}{2 x ^{2} - 7 x + 5} d x

- \frac{1}{3} (ln - \frac{4}{3} + \frac{4}{3} x - ln - \frac{10}{3} + \frac{4}{3} x) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{2 x ^{2} - 7 x + 5} d x

Complete the square

2 x^{2} - 7 x + 5 : 2 (x - \frac{7}{4})^{2} - \frac{9}{8}

= \int \frac{1}{2 ( x - \frac{7}{4} ) ^{2} - \frac{9}{8}} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{8}{16 u ^{2} - 9} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= 8 \cdot \int \frac{1}{16 u ^{2} - 9} d u

Apply Integral Substitution

= 8 \cdot \int \frac{1}{12 ( v ^{2} - 1 )} d v

Take the constant out:

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

= 8 \cdot \frac{1}{12} \cdot \int \frac{1}{v ^{2} - 1} d v

Factor

v^{2} - 1 : - (- v^{2} + 1)

= 8 \cdot \frac{1}{12} \cdot \int \frac{1}{- ( - v ^{2} + 1 )} d v

Take the constant out:

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

= 8 \cdot \frac{1}{12} (- \int \frac{1}{- v ^{2} + 1} d v)

Use the common integral:

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

= 8 \cdot \frac{1}{12} (- (\frac{ln ∣ v + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ v - 1 ∣}{2}))

Substitute back

= 8 \cdot \frac{1}{12} (- (\frac{ln \frac{4}{3} ( x - \frac{7}{4} ) + 1}{2} - \frac{ln \frac{4}{3} ( x - \frac{7}{4} ) - 1}{2}))

Simplify

8 \cdot \frac{1}{12} (- (\frac{ln \frac{4}{3} ( x - \frac{7}{4} ) + 1}{2} - \frac{ln \frac{4}{3} ( x - \frac{7}{4} ) - 1}{2})) : - \frac{1}{3} (ln - \frac{4}{3} + \frac{4}{3} x - ln - \frac{10}{3} + \frac{4}{3} x)

= - \frac{1}{3} (ln - \frac{4}{3} + \frac{4}{3} x - ln - \frac{10}{3} + \frac{4}{3} x)

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{3} (ln - \frac{4}{3} + \frac{4}{3} x - ln - \frac{10}{3} + \frac{4}{3} x) + C
