How do you integrate this?

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

\[\int\limits_{}^{}\frac{ dt }{ 2t^2 + 3t +1 }\]

OpenStudy (kelvin8262):

well, just transform the equation to \[\int\limits_{?}^{?}2t^{-2}+3t^{-1}+1 dt\] does this make it easier to solve it?

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

hehe yes

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

but when I integrate 3t^-1 I get zero...

OpenStudy (kelvin8262):

basic rule of integration, remember this. integral of 1/x = ln(x)

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

can I just use u substitution?

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

@kelvin8262

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

u = 2t^2+3t+1 du= 4t+3 dt du-4t-3 = dt ?

OpenStudy (kelvin8262):

well, due to simplicity of this, i won't recommend you to do it this way, consider that's directly integration is a easier way.

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

so -2t^-1 + 3ln|t|+t?

OpenStudy (kelvin8262):

yep. but don't forget the constant, C after integration.

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

oh ok so that's it ? :D
