Question:

If $∫\frac{dx}{(x+1)(x+2)}=∫\frac{A}{x+1}dx+∫\frac{B}{x+2}dx,$ then $A+B =$

Options:

2

1

0

-1

Correct Answer:

0

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → 0

$∫\frac{dx}{(x+1)(x+2)}=∫\frac{(x+2)-(x+1)}{(x+1)(x+2)}dx$

$=∫\frac{1}{(x+1)}-\frac{1}{(x+2)}dx$

$⇒A=1,B=-1$

so $A+B=0$
