Question

3x+1(x+1)2(x+3)dx

Open in App
Solution

By the method of partial fractions,

3x+1(x+1)2(x+3)=Ax+1+B(x+1)2+Cx+3

3x+1=A(x+1)(x+3)+B(x+3)+C(x+1)2

Put x=1

3×1+1=B(1+3)

2=2B or B=1

Put x=3

3×3+1=C(3+1)2

9+1=4C

4C=8 or C=2

Put x=0

3×0+1=A(0+1)(0+3)+B(0+3)+C(0+1)2

3A+3B+C=1

3A+3×12=1

3A=1+5=6

A=63=2

Now 3x+1(x+1)2(x+3)=2x+11(x+1)22x+3

3x+1(x+1)2(x+3)dx=2dxx+1dx(x+1)22dxx+3

=2dxx+1dx(x+1)22dxx+3

=2log|x+1|(x+1)2+12+12log|x+3|+c

=2logx+1x+3+1x+1+c where c is the constant of integration.
