integrate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

srry guys i am having a fight with eqn editor lols

OpenStudy (aravindg):

\[\large \int\limits \frac{x-1}{(x-2)(x-3)}\]

OpenStudy (aravindg):

at last

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

unintegrable! no dx :p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya! lgba is right

OpenStudy (aravindg):

oops i left that accidently during my fight

OpenStudy (aravindg):

assume dx is present

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cant get

OpenStudy (aravindg):

??

OpenStudy (aravindg):

\[\huge \int\limits \frac{(x-1)dx}{(x-2)(x-3)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you need to convert it into partial fractions ( thats how i did) A/x-2 + B/x-3= x-1 A(x-3) + B(x-2) x-1 putting x=2 and x=3 we get -1/x-2 dx + 2/x-3 dx -lnx-2 + 1/2lnx-3 + C

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

using partial fractions we'll have (ill skip the fractions part) x - 1 = Ax - 3A + Bx - 2B -3A - 2B = -1 A + B = 1 -3A - 2B = -1 3A + 3B = 3 B = 2 A = -1 \(\Large \int \frac{-1}{x-2}dx + \int \frac{2}{x-3}dx\) can you do that now?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

ya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did a mistake 2lnx-3 *

OpenStudy (aravindg):

lgba rocks!!

OpenStudy (aravindg):

whose ready for next one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lgba :p
