Find the integral of g(x) = (x-2)/(x^2-4)

Given that g(x) =
(x-2)/(x^2-4)


We need to find the integral of
g(x).


First we will
simplify.


g(x) = (x-2)/(x-2)(x+2) =
1/(x+2)


==> g(x) =
(x+2)^-1


Now we will
integrate.


==> Intg g(x) dx = Int (x+2)^-1
dx


We will assume that u= x+2 ==> du =
dx


==> Int g(x) dx = Int 1/u du = ln u +
c


Now we will substitute back u=
x+2


==> Int g(x) = ln (x+2) +
C

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
