\[\int\limits \frac{ x^2-6x-9}{ (x-1)^2 (x^2+1) }\]
As my answer I got \[5\ln|x-1|+\frac{ 1 }{ x-1 }-\frac{ 5 }{ 2 }\ln|x^2+1|-3 \tan^{-1} (x)+C\]
But unfortunately its wrong...
zepdrix (zepdrix):
Did you set up your partial fractions correctly?\[\large\rm \frac{x^2-6x-9}{(x-1)^2(x^2+1)}=\frac{A}{x-1}+\frac{B}{(x-1)^2}+\frac{Cx+D}{(x^2+1)}\]
OpenStudy (itz_sid):
Yea, Here is my work. It was too much to type out.
zepdrix (zepdrix):
Oh you did it the other way...
expanding everything out... oh boy +_+
OpenStudy (itz_sid):
Yea... lol
I got stuck trying to do it the first way

Sec gonna try it the other way on paper :d
zepdrix (zepdrix):
Cause I don't wanna check the expansion of those polynomials :P
OpenStudy (itz_sid):
Okie :3
zepdrix (zepdrix):
Hmm ya I think expanding works out better -_- ugh

x(A+C-2D) not x(A+C+2D)
