integrate[1/(x^3-5x^2)]
\[\int\limits_{}^{}\frac{1}{x^2(x-5)} dx\]
use partial fractions! :)
\[\frac{1}{x^2(x-5)}=\frac{A}{x}+\frac{B}{x^2}+\frac{C}{x-5}\]
we have :1/(x^3 - 5x^2) = A/x + B/x^2 + C/(x - 5),
\[1=Ax(x-5)+B(x-5)+Cx^2\]
myin will do the rest :)
\[1=Ax^2-5Ax+Bx-5B+Cx^2=x^2(A+C)+x(-5A+B)+(-5B)\]
\[A+C=0, -5A+B=0, -5B=1\]
\[-5B=1=> B=\frac{-1}{5}\]
\[-5A+B=-5A+\frac{-1}{5}=0 =>A=\frac{-1}{25}\]
\[A+C=\frac{-1}{25}+C=0 => C=\frac{1}{25}\]
so we have \[\int\limits_{}^{}(\frac{-1}{25(x)}+\frac{-1}{5x^2}+\frac{1}{25(x-5)}) dx \]
=\[-\frac{1}{25}\ln|x|-\frac{1}{5}\int\limits_{}^{} x^{-2} dx+\frac{1}{25} \ln|x-5|+C\]
\[-\frac{1}{25}\ln|x|-\frac{1}{5} \cdot \frac{x^{-2+1}}{-2+1}+\frac{1}{25} \ln|x-5|+C\]
\[-\frac{1}{25}\ln|x|-\frac{1}{5} \cdot \frac{x^{-1}}{-1}+\frac{1}{25} \ln|x-5|+C\]
\[-\frac{1}{25}\ln|x|-\frac{1}{5} \cdot \frac{-1}{x}+\frac{1}{25} \ln|x-5|+C\]
\[-\frac{1}{25}\ln|x|+\frac{1}{5x}+\frac{1}{25} \ln|x-5|+C\]
mon amie, i like the way you do math
lol
Write a math book
Optionally, you can teach me everything you know
that's not a lot zarkon has more knowledge
It's not about that. Lagrange is right. Your approaches are consistently brilliant
lol i would hope so since i'm a computer
You're a what? A computer? Oh dear....
lol no i'm kidding
im sure more that just her approach is brilliant
I agree
