$\int5xdx+\int\frac{-2}{x^2-4}dx$
Learn how to solve integrals of polynomial functions problems step by step online. Integrate int(5x+-2/(x^2-4))dx. Expand the integral \int\left(5x+\frac{-2}{x^2-4}\right)dx into 2 integrals using the sum rule for integrals, to then solve each integral separately. Factor the difference of squares x^2-4 as the product of two conjugated binomials. Rewrite the fraction \frac{-2}{\left(x+2\right)\left(x-2\right)} in 2 simpler fractions using partial fraction decomposition. Find the values for the unknown coefficients: A, B. The first step is to multiply both sides of the equation from the previous step by \left(x+2\right)\left(x-2\right).
