How do you integrate (3x) / (x^2 * (x^2+1) )3xx2⋅(x2+1) using partial fractions? Calculus Techniques of Integration Integral by Partial Fractions 1 Answer Ratnaker Mehta Jan 20, 2017 3/2ln{x^2/(x^2+1)}+C.32ln{x2x2+1}+C. Explanation: Let I=int(3x)/{x^2(x^2+1)}dxI=∫3xx2(x2+1)dx Substitute x^2=t," so that, "2xdx=dt, or, xdx=1/2dtx2=t, so that, 2xdx=dt,or,xdx=12dt :. I=3int(1/2)/{t(t+1)}dt=3/2int{(t+1)-t}/{t(t+1)}dt =3/2int[(t+1)/{t(t+1)}-t/{t(t+1)}]dt =3/2int[1/t-1/(t+1)]dt =3/2[ln|t|-ln|t+1|] =3/2ln|t/(t+1)|, and, because, t=x^2, I=3/2ln{x^2/(x^2+1)}+C.
