integration help

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

42! :P haha jk carry on

OpenStudy (aravindg):

well i need to knw how to evaluate this case \[\huge \int\limits \frac{(px+q)\;\;dx}{(ax^2+bx+c)}\]

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

im seeing partial fractions phooey

OpenStudy (aravindg):

@dpaInc

@FoolForMath

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u gt any specific examples? is lets say u diff the bottom and u get the top u can integrate to ln str 8 away

OpenStudy (aravindg):

ya i was tlikung about that method

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep if not then use partial fractions or jus play around with it

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

if denominator factors, then yes use partial fractions if it doesn't factor, i believe you need to use completing the square and trig sustitution

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

substitution**

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

@AravindG it's Rohangrr you wanna tag he's good with these stuffs :P i agree with the @dumbcow :p

OpenStudy (aravindg):

why do we differentiate denominator?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

i mean my text book says by differentiating denominator we write numerator= A(2ax+b)+B

OpenStudy (aravindg):

why do we do this? can anyone tell me the logic?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

as in why we rewrite the numerator?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

hehe ...i found the logic while i wrote tht ..it just struck me nw..to get differential of denominator in numerator!!

OpenStudy (aravindg):

well does this ,ethod always work if we have the general case which i have written using eqn editor?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rules of integration

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it always works as long as the differtiated denominator is the exact form of a mutiple of the numerator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or*

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

here is an example worked out by wolfram http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=integrate+%28x%2B3%29%2F%282x^2-x%2B5%29+dx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or a multiple*

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

"i mean my text book says by differentiating denominator we write numerator= A(2ax+b)+B" This is definitely the best approach.

OpenStudy (aravindg):

this method and partial fractions seem very similiar :)

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

A is straightforward, but you still need partial fractions for B.

OpenStudy (aravindg):

why?
