Integrals Involving Quadratics

To this point we have seen quite some integrals which involve quadratics.  Example of Integrals Involving Quadratics is as follow:

∫ (x / x2 + a) (dx) = ½ 1n |x2 + a| + c

∫ (1/ x2 + a2) (dx) = 1/a tan-1 (x/a)

We as well saw that integrals including  √ (b2 x2 - a2), √ (a2 - b2 x2) and √ (a2 + b2 x2) could be done with a trig substitution.

Notice though that all of these integrals were missing an x term.  They all contain a quadratic term and a constant.

A few integrals including general quadratics are easy enough to do.  For example, the following integral can be done along with a quick substitution.

Some integrals along with quadratics can be completed with partial fractions.  For example,

∫ (10x - 6 /( 3x2 + 16x+5)) dx

= ∫ ((4/x+5) - (2/3x+1)) dx = 4 1n |x+5| - 2/3 1n |3x+1| + c

Unfortunately, these techniques won't work on a lot of integrals.  A simple substitution will just only work if the numerator is a constant multiple of the derivative of the denominator and partial fractions will only work if the denominator can be factored.
