integral of 2/(x^2+5x+6)

\int \frac{2}{x ^{2} + 5 x + 6} d x

2 (ln ∣ x + 2 ∣ - ln ∣ x + 3 ∣) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{2}{x ^{2} + 5 x + 6} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 5 x + 6} d x

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{x ^{2} + 5 x + 6} : \frac{1}{x + 2} - \frac{1}{x + 3}

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{1}{x + 2} - \frac{1}{x + 3} 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}{x + 2} d x - \int \frac{1}{x + 3} d x)

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

\int \frac{1}{x + 3} d x = ln ∣ x + 3 ∣

= 2 (ln ∣ x + 2 ∣ - ln ∣ x + 3 ∣)

Add a constant to the solution

= 2 (ln ∣ x + 2 ∣ - ln ∣ x + 3 ∣) + C
