U-Substitution

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

$\displaystyle \int {\frac{1}{x^2 - 49}} \, dx$

Step 2: Integrate Pt. 1

[Integrand] Factor: $\displaystyle \int {\frac{1}{x^2 - 49}} \, dx = \int {\frac{1}{(x - 7)(x + 7)}} \, dx$ [Integrand] Split [Partial Fraction Decomp]: $\displaystyle \frac{1}{(x - 7)(x + 7)} = \frac{A}{x - 7} + \frac{B}{x + 7}$ Rewrite: $\displaystyle 1 = A(x + 7) + B(x - 7)$ [Decomp] Substitute in x = 7: $\displaystyle 1 = A(7 + 7) + B(7 - 7)$ Simplify: $\displaystyle 1 = 14A$ Solve: $\displaystyle A = \frac{1}{14}$ [Decomp] Substitute in x = -7: $\displaystyle 1 = A(-7 + 7) + B(-7 - 7)$ Simplify: $\displaystyle 1 = -14B$ Solve: $\displaystyle B = \frac{-1}{14}$ [Split Integrand] Substitute in variables: $\displaystyle \frac{1}{(x - 7)(x + 7)} = \frac{\frac{1}{14}}{x - 7} - \frac{\frac{1}{14}}{x + 7}$

Step 3: Integrate Pt. 2

[Integral] Rewrite [Split Integrand]: $\displaystyle \int {\frac{1}{x^2 - 49}} \, dx = \int {\bigg( \frac{\frac{1}{14}}{x - 7} - \frac{\frac{1}{14}}{x + 7} \bigg)} \, dx$ [Integral] Rewrite [Integration Property - Addition/Subtraction]: $\displaystyle \int {\frac{1}{x^2 - 49}} \, dx = \int {\frac{\frac{1}{14}}{x - 7}} \, dx - \int {\frac{\frac{1}{14}}{x + 7}} \, dx$ [Integrals] Rewrite [Integration Property - Multiplied Constant]: $\displaystyle \int {\frac{1}{x^2 - 49}} \, dx = \frac{1}{14}\int {\frac{1}{x - 7}} \, dx - \frac{1}{14}\int {\frac{1}{x + 7}} \, dx$ Factor: $\displaystyle \int {\frac{1}{x^2 - 49}} \, dx = \frac{1}{14} \bigg( \int {\frac{1}{x - 7}} \, dx - \int {\frac{1}{x + 7}} \, dx \bigg)$

Step 4: Integrate Pt. 3

Identify variables for u-substitution.

Integral 1

Set u: $\displaystyle u = x - 7$ [u] Differentiate [Basic Power Rule, Derivative Properties]: $\displaystyle du = dx$

Integral 2

Set z: $\displaystyle z = x + 7$ [z] Differentiate [Basic Power Rule, Derivative Properties]: $\displaystyle dz = dx$

Step 5: Integrate Pt. 4

[Integrals] U-Substitution: $\displaystyle \int {\frac{1}{x^2 - 49}} \, dx = \frac{1}{14} \bigg( \int {\frac{1}{u}} \, du - \int {\frac{1}{z}} \, dz \bigg)$ [Integrals] Logarithmic Integration: $\displaystyle \int {\frac{1}{x^2 - 49}} \, dx = \frac{1}{14} \bigg( \ln |u| - \ln |z| \bigg) + C$ [Variables] Back-Substitute: $\displaystyle \int {\frac{1}{x^2 - 49}} \, dx = \frac{1}{14} \bigg( \ln |x - 7| - \ln |x + 7| \bigg) + C$
