\[\int\limits\frac{2x^{3}}{x^{2}-4} dx\]?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yup. :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I have a correct answer but i dont have the solution. can you show me?
OpenStudy (mimi_x3):
\[2\int\limits\frac{x^{3}}{x^{2}-4} dx\]
looks like a long division..
OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):
let x^2 -4 = t
thus dt = 2xdx
now 2x^3 dx= (2xdx)(x^2) = (t+4)dt
so we are left with
(t+4)/t dt
try now..

\[\int\limits {} \frac{x(x^{2}-4)+4x}{x^{2}-4}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[2\int\limits x+\frac{4x}{x^{2}-4}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
do you understand now???
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[x2+4\ln |x^{2} - 4|+C\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that's the true answer.

\[2[\frac{x^{2}}{2}]\]
is the integral og the first term.....
for second term take
\[x^{2}-4=t\]
\[2xdx=dt\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\int\limits \frac{4xdx}{x^{2}-4}=\int\limits \frac{2dt}{t}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[=2\ln(t)\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[t=x^{2}-4\]
adding first and the second
\[2[\frac{x^{2}}{2}+2\ln|x^{2}-4|]+c\]
\[x^{2}+4\ln|x^{2}-4|+c\]
