Solution and Explanation

\(Let\  x^3 = t\)

\(∴ 3x^2 \ dx = dt\)

\(⇒ ∫\frac {x^2}{1-x^6} \ dx = \frac 13 ∫\frac {dt}{1-t^2}\)

\(=\frac 13[\frac 12\ log\ |\frac {1+t}{1-t}|]+C\)

\(=\frac 16\ log\ |\frac {1+x^3}{1-x^3}|+C\)

Integrals of Some Particular Functions

There are many important integration formulas which are applied to integrate many other standard integrals. In this article, we will take a look at the integrals of these particular functions and see how they are used in several other standard integrals.

Integrals of Some Particular Functions:

  • ∫1/(x2 – a2) dx = (1/2a) log|(x – a)/(x + a)| + C
  • ∫1/(a2 – x2) dx = (1/2a) log|(a + x)/(a – x)| + C
  • ∫1/(x2 + a2) dx = (1/a) tan-1(x/a) + C
  • ∫1/√(x2 – a2) dx = log|x + √(x2 – a2)| + C
  • ∫1/√(a2 – x2) dx = sin-1(x/a) + C
  • ∫1/√(x2 + a2) dx = log|x + √(x2 + a2)| + C

These are tabulated below along with the meaning of each part.
