integral from 1 to 2 of (15)/(x^3+5x)

\int_{1}^{2} \frac{15}{x ^{3} + 5 x} d x

15 (\frac{1}{5} ln (2) - \frac{1}{10} ln (\frac{3}{2}))

Decimal

1.47124 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{1}^{2} \frac{15}{x ^{3} + 5 x} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= 15 \cdot \int_{1}^{2} \frac{1}{x ^{3} + 5 x} d x

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{x ^{3} + 5 x} : \frac{1}{5 x} - \frac{x}{5 ( x ^{2} + 5 )}

= 15 \cdot \int_{1}^{2} \frac{1}{5 x} - \frac{x}{5 ( x ^{2} + 5 )} 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

= 15 (\int_{1}^{2} \frac{1}{5 x} d x - \int_{1}^{2} \frac{x}{5 ( x ^{2} + 5 )} d x)

\int_{1}^{2} \frac{1}{5 x} d x = \frac{1}{5} ln (2)

\int_{1}^{2} \frac{x}{5 ( x ^{2} + 5 )} d x = \frac{1}{10} ln (\frac{3}{2})

= 15 (\frac{1}{5} ln (2) - \frac{1}{10} ln (\frac{3}{2}))
