fractional decomposition

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits \frac{ x^{3}-2x^{2}-3x+1 }{ x^{2}+4x+5 }dx\]

OpenStudy (perl):

first do long division

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did divided the polynomials and got\[\int\limits x-6+\frac{ 16x+31 }{ x^{2}+4x+5 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my problem is I dont know how to progress from here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@perl

OpenStudy (perl):

ok so the difficulty is integrating (16x +31) / (x^2+4x + 5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes I tried to get in a form for arctan but splitting it after I didnt see what I could do still\[\int\limits x-6+\frac{ 16x+31 }{ (x+2)^2+1^2 }\]

OpenStudy (perl):

we can rewrite the numerator

OpenStudy (perl):

16x + 31 = 8(2x + 4) - 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and from there split it and u sub?

OpenStudy (perl):

\[\int\limits\limits x-6+\frac{ 16x+31 }{ x^{2}+4x+5 } =\int\limits\limits x-6+\frac{ 8(2x+4) }{ x^{2}+4x+5 } -\frac{1}{x^{2}+4x+5} \]

OpenStudy (perl):

right, and you can complete the square for the last term

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok. Thank you for all your help.

OpenStudy (perl):

\[\int\limits\limits \frac{ x^{3}-2x^{2}-3x+1 }{ x^{2}+4x+5 }dx \\= \int\limits\limits x-6+\frac{ 16x+31 }{ x^{2}+4x+5 } \\ =\int\limits\limits x-6+\frac{ 8(2x+4)-1 }{ x^{2}+4x+5} \\=\int\limits\limits x-6+\frac{ 8(2x+4) }{ x^{2}+4x+5} -\frac{1}{x^{2}+4x+5} \\ =\int\limits\limits x-6+\frac{ 8(2x+4) }{ x^{2}+4x+5 } -\frac{1}{(x+2)^2+1} \]
