Learn how to solve integral calculus problems step by step online. Find the integral int((x^2-5)(1+x)^(-3))dx. Multiplying polynomials \left(1+x\right)^{-3} and x^2-5. Expand the integral \int\left(\left(1+x\right)^{-3}x^2-5\left(1+x\right)^{-3}\right)dx into 2 integrals using the sum rule for integrals, to then solve each integral separately. The integral \int\left(1+x\right)^{-3}x^2dx results in: \ln\left(x+1\right)+\frac{2}{x+1}+\frac{-1}{2\left(x+1\right)^{2}}. Gather the results of all integrals.

Final Answer

$\frac{-1}{2\left(x+1\right)^{2}}+\frac{2}{x+1}+\ln\left(x+1\right)+\frac{5}{2\left(1+x\right)^{2}}+C_0$
