evalute the integral

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{-\infty}^{-2}2dx/(x^2-1)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does tht mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what u asked?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got ur question.haha..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok wanna solve it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the indefinte integral is ln(x^2-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

HINT ; whenever there is Infinty ... try to get rid of INfinty by Substituting 1/x as something

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is not ln.. coz on numerator there is no 2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i cant solve it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in this case however partial fractionize the given ter m into (1/x-1) -(1/x+1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-ln(3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok ,got it now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what a easy question it was , i challenged myself ))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.09861

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2\int\limits_{-\infty}^{-2}dx\(x^2-1)\] \[2.1\2\left[ \log(-2-1)\(-2+1) \right] -2/2\left[ \log(-\infty-1)\(-\infty+1) \right]\] log3
