hey guys help me with this

rvc (rvc):

\[\int\limits2x+3/(x-1)(x^2+1) dx = \log{(x-1)^{5/2} (x^2+1)^a} -1/2\tan^{-1} x + A\]

rvc (rvc):

A= constant a=? its log to the base e

rvc (rvc):

@Kainui @rational @ParthKohli

rvc (rvc):

@amistre64 integration help

rvc (rvc):

@ikram002p @ParthKohli

rvc (rvc):

@rational @Directrix @divu.mkr

OpenStudy (amistre64):

my latex coding fails to load to parsing it might be cumbersome

OpenStudy (amistre64):

integrate 2x+3/(x-1)(x^2+1) dx = \log{(x-1)^{5/2} (x^2+1)^a} -1/2\tan^{-1} x + A yeah, im not sure what im looking at ....

OpenStudy (amistre64):

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

\(\int\limits2x+3/(x-1)(x^2+1) dx =\\ \log{(x-1)^{5/2} (x^2+1)^a} -1/2\tan^{-1} x + A\)

rvc (rvc):

yeah

OpenStudy (amistre64):

my idea would be to take the derivative of the right hand side

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

i dont wanna make guesses, can u really evaluate this integral ?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

integral of f'(x) = f(x)+A d/dx(integral of f'(x)) = d/dx(f(x)+A) f'(x) = d/dx(f(x)+A)

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

but is constant or what ?

rvc (rvc):

A------->constant a------->value to be found

OpenStudy (amistre64):

take the derivative of the right side and equate it to the left side

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

ok :3

rvc (rvc):

im finding this difficult guys :(

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you can possibly split the fraction ... decompose it to see how it works into the right side . might be easier might not

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

\(( \log{(x-1)^{5/2} (x^2+1)^a} -1/2\tan^{-1} x + A)'\)

rvc (rvc):

@ikram002p i should take the derivate of this right

OpenStudy (amistre64):

2x+3 A Bx+C ----------- = ----- + ------ (x-1)(x^2+1) x-1 x^2+1 2x+3 = A(x^2+1) + (Bx+C)(x-1) let x=1 5 = 2A, A = 5/2 let x=0 3 = 5/2 - C, C = -1/2 let x=-1 1 = 5 + 2B +1 B = -5/2 right?

rvc (rvc):

wait let me read

rvc (rvc):

yep

OpenStudy (amistre64):

5/2 ln(x-1) - int (5x+1)/(2x^2+2) thats what i get so far

OpenStudy (amistre64):

or the rightest term -1/2 int [5x/(x^2+1)] -1/2 int[ 1/(x^2+1)] that gets us to the -1/2 tan^-1 x so its that 5x part we have to work with

OpenStudy (amistre64):

-5/2 int [x/(x^2+1)] -5/4 int [2x/(x^2+1)] -5/4 log(x^2+1)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

so 5/2 log(x-1) -5/4 log(x^2+1) = log{ (x-1)^{5/2} (x^2+1)^a} log(x-1)^(5/2) + log(x^2+1)^(-5/4) = log{ (x-1)^{5/2} (x^2+1)^a} log (x-1)^(5/2) (x^2+1)^(-5/4) = log{ (x-1)^{5/2} (x^2+1)^a}

OpenStudy (amistre64):

as long as i dint mess it up along the way :) that seems fair to me

rvc (rvc):

hmm

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the trick i spose is in decomposing the left side if you are having issues with deriving the right side

OpenStudy (amistre64):

wish my latex decoding was working :/

rvc (rvc):

yep @amistre64 so the value is -5/4 thats right thank u soooooooooooo much @amistre64
