∫ x/(x^2-4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you got to do this by partial fractionss

OpenStudy (agentjamesbond007):

Can you please show the step work for solving this. I believe you can use u-substitution

OpenStudy (earthcitizen):

\[ 1/2 \ln(x^2-4)+c\]

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

yes you can...let u = x^2 - 4 du = 2xdx xdx = du/2 \(\LARGE \frac{1}{2} \int \frac{du}{u}\)

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

\(\LARGE \frac{1}{2} \ln u = \frac{1}{2} \ln (x^2 - 4)\)

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

+ C

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

others prefer the answer.. \(\ln \sqrt{x^2 -4} + C\)
