How do you integrate x+1(6x2+4)(x5) using partial fractions?

1 Answer

See below.

Explanation:

1) I used basic fractions method.

Inıtıially, I decomposed integrand into basic fractions,

x+1(6x2+4)(x5)=Ax5+Bx+C6x2+4

After expanding denominator,

A(6x2+4)+(Bx+C)(x5)=x+1

(6A+B)x2+(C5B)x+4A5C=x+1

After equating coefficients, I found

6A+B=0, C5B=1 and 4A5C=1 equations.

After solving them, A=377,B=1877andC=1377

Thus,

(x+1)dx(6x2+4)(x5)

=377dxx5-177(18x+13)dx6x2+4

=377ln(x5)-315412xdx6x2+4-1377dx6x2+4

=377ln(x5)3154ln(6x2+4)136924arctan(3x6)+C
