integral of 1/(25-4x^2)

\int \frac{1}{25 - 4 x ^{2}} d x

\frac{1}{20} (ln \frac{2}{5} x + 1 - ln \frac{2}{5} x - 1) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{25 - 4 x ^{2}} d x

Apply Integral Substitution

= \int \frac{1}{10 ( - u ^{2} + 1 )} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{10} \cdot \int \frac{1}{- u ^{2} + 1} d u

Use the common integral:

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

= \frac{1}{10} (\frac{ln ∣ u + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ u - 1 ∣}{2})

Substitute back

u = \frac{2}{5} x

= \frac{1}{10} (\frac{ln \frac{2}{5} x + 1}{2} - \frac{ln \frac{2}{5} x - 1}{2})

Simplify

\frac{1}{10} (\frac{ln \frac{2}{5} x + 1}{2} - \frac{ln \frac{2}{5} x - 1}{2}) : \frac{1}{20} (ln \frac{2}{5} x + 1 - ln \frac{2}{5} x - 1)

= \frac{1}{20} (ln \frac{2}{5} x + 1 - ln \frac{2}{5} x - 1)

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{20} (ln \frac{2}{5} x + 1 - ln \frac{2}{5} x - 1) + C
