how to integrate this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits \frac{ x^2+x+1 }{ \sqrt{x^2-x+1} } dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for denominator you will go like \[\int\limits_{}^{} 1/x^2-x+1/4-1/4+1\] \[\int\limits_{}^{} 1/(x-1/2)^2 +3/4\] \[\int\limits_{}^{}4/3 (1/x-1/2)^2/3/4 +1\] \[4/3 \int\limits_{}^{} (1/x-1/2/\sqrt{3}/2)^2 +1\] let \[x-1/2/\sqrt{3}/2= \tan \theta \] derivate x wrt to theta and substitute

@aryandecoolest : sorry ... i did not understand ..

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

I am thinking somehting like below : if we let \(u = \sqrt{x^2-x+1}\), then \(du = \dfrac{2x-1}{2\sqrt{x^2-x+1}}dx\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so i would like to have 2x-1 on numerator : \[\begin{align}\\ \int\limits \frac{ x^2+x+1 }{ \sqrt{x^2-x+1} } dx &= \int\limits \frac{(2x-1)+ x^2-x+2 }{ \sqrt{x^2-x+1} } dx \\~\\ &= \int\limits \frac{(2x-1)dx}{ \sqrt{x^2-x+1} } + \int\limits \frac{ (x^2-x+1 )dx}{ \sqrt{x^2-x+1} } + \int\limits \frac{ dx }{ \sqrt{x^2-x+1} } \\~\\ \end{align} \]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

see if that looks okay ^^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i too did till this point. but looking at the answer given in the book i felt i was not correct. probably the answer printed in incorrect. @ganeshie8 .. thanks a lot

you're on right track, don't wry about the answer yet... your answer will come out same as textbook answer im sure, keep going :)
