Find $\int \frac{x^2 + 1}{x^2 - 5x + 6} \, dx$ |
$x + 10 \ln|x - 3| - 5 \ln|x - 2| + C$ $x - 10 \ln|x - 3| + 5 \ln|x - 2| + C$ $x + 5 \ln|x - 3| - 10 \ln|x - 2| + C$ $x + \ln|x^2 - 5x + 6| + C$ |
$x + 10 \ln|x - 3| - 5 \ln|x - 2| + C$ |
The correct answer is Option (1) → $x + 10 \ln|x - 3| - 5 \ln|x - 2| + C$ Here the integrand $\frac{x^2 + 1}{x^2 - 5x + 6}$ is not proper rational function, so we divide $x^2 + 1$ by $x^2 - 5x + 6$ and find that $\frac{x^2+1}{x^2-5x+6} = 1 + \frac{5x-5}{x^2-5x+6} = 1 + \frac{5x-5}{(x-2)(x-3)}$ Let $\frac{5x-5}{(x-2)(x-3)} = \frac{A}{x-2} + \frac{B}{x-3}$ So that $5x - 5 = A(x - 3) + B(x - 2)$ Equating the coefficients of $x$ and constant terms on both sides, we get $A + B = 5$ and $3A + 2B = 5$. Solving these equations, we get $A = -5$ and $B = 10$. Thus, $\frac{x^2 + 1}{x^2 - 5x + 6} = 1 - \frac{5}{x-2} + \frac{10}{x-3}$ Therefore, $\int \frac{x^2 + 1}{x^2 - 5x + 6} \, dx = \int dx - 5 \int \frac{1}{x-2} \, dx + 10 \int \frac{dx}{x-3}$ $= x - 5 \log |x-2| + 10 \log |x-3| + C$ |
