$\int\left(\frac{x}{x^2-1}+\frac{5}{x^2-1}\right)dx$
Learn how to solve problems step by step online. Find the integral int((x+5)/(x^2-1))dx. Expand the fraction \frac{x+5}{x^2-1} into 2 simpler fractions with common denominator x^2-1. Expand the integral \int\left(\frac{x}{x^2-1}+\frac{5}{x^2-1}\right)dx into 2 integrals using the sum rule for integrals, to then solve each integral separately. The integral \int\frac{x}{x^2-1}dx results in: \frac{1}{2}\ln\left(x^2-1\right). The integral \int\frac{5}{x^2-1}dx results in: -\frac{5}{2}\ln\left(x+1\right)+\frac{5}{2}\ln\left(x-1\right).
