integral of 3/(x^2-5x+6)

\int \frac{3}{x ^{2} - 5 x + 6} d x

3 (- ln ∣ x - 2 ∣ + ln ∣ x - 3 ∣) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{3}{x ^{2} - 5 x + 6} d x

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= 3 \cdot \int \frac{1}{x ^{2} - 5 x + 6} d x

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{x ^{2} - 5 x + 6} : - \frac{1}{x - 2} + \frac{1}{x - 3}

= 3 \cdot \int - \frac{1}{x - 2} + \frac{1}{x - 3} d x

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= 3 (- \int \frac{1}{x - 2} d x + \int \frac{1}{x - 3} d x)

\int \frac{1}{x - 2} d x = ln ∣ x - 2 ∣

\int \frac{1}{x - 3} d x = ln ∣ x - 3 ∣

= 3 (- ln ∣ x - 2 ∣ + ln ∣ x - 3 ∣)

Add a constant to the solution

= 3 (- ln ∣ x - 2 ∣ + ln ∣ x - 3 ∣) + C
