[(2x^3 + 3x^2 +28) / ((x+2)(x^2))] integrate 4rm 1 to 2
please help me?
with steps if you dont mind.
not as bad as it seems. divide, \[\frac{2x^3+3x^2+28}{x^3+2x^2}\] is what you need
ca you divide it with the steps. shown.
i will try but it is hard to write division here. let me write it first with paper
ah ok.
well actually you get a quotient of 2, and a remainder of \[-x^2+28\]
2 _______________ x^3 + 2x^2 | 2x^3+3x^2 + 28 2x^3 + 4x^2 -x^2 + 28
that is the best way i can write it here
just like long division, you say x^3 goes in to 2x^3 twice, put the 2 up top, multiply out and subtract
that means v multiply because it says integrate from 1 to 2 is it?
meaning \[\frac{2x^3+3x^2+28}{x^3+2x^2}=2+\frac{-x^2+28}{x^3+2x^2}\]
we did not get anywhere close to integration yet, but yes, when you integrate 2 from 1 to 2 you will get 2 we still have to find the antiderivative of the second part, and for this we need "partial fractions"
\[\frac{-x^2+28}{x^2(x+2)}=\frac{a}{x}+\frac{b}{x^2}+\frac{c}{x+2}\] and now we need a, b and c
do you know how to do the partial fraction decomposition?
nope i am new to this, what is the answer finally?
for the partial fraction you will get \[\frac{-x^2+28}{x^2(x+2)}=\frac{14}{x}-\frac{7}{x^2}+\frac{6}{x+2}\]
so in total \[\frac{2x^3+3x^2+28}{x^3+2x^2}=2+\frac{14}{x}-\frac{7}{x^2}+\frac{6}{x+2}\]
now you have to integrate term by term to find the anti derivative
you get \[\int 2+\frac{14}{x}-\frac{7}{x^2}+\frac{6}{x+2} dx = 2x+14\ln(x)+\frac{7}{x}+6\ln(x+2)\]
thats is not the hard part, that you just take the anti derivative term by term. the hard part is finding that \[\frac{-x^2+28}{x^2(x+2)}=\frac{14}{x}-\frac{7}{x^2}+\frac{6}{x+2}\]
hm ok bro thanks..
