Integrals Exercise 7e Solutions
I. Integrate the Rational Functions.
Question 1.
\(\frac{x}{(x+1)(x+2)}\)
Solution:
∫\(\frac{x}{(x+1)(x+2)}\) dx
Let \(\frac{\mathrm{x}}{(\mathrm{x}+1)(\mathrm{x}+2)}\)
= \(\frac{\mathrm{A}}{(\mathrm{x}+1)}+\frac{\mathrm{B}}{(\mathrm{x}+2)}\)
⇒ \(\frac{x}{(x+1)(x+2)}\) = \(\frac{\mathrm{A}(\mathrm{x}+2)+\mathrm{B}(\mathrm{x}+1)}{(\mathrm{x}+1)(\mathrm{x}+2)}\)
⇒ x = x(A + B) + 2A + B
On equating the coefficient of x and constant terms on both sides, we get
A + B = 1 ………. (1) & 2A + B = 0 ………….. (2)
(2) – (1) ⇒ A = -1
Put the value of A in eq(1), we get
-1 + B = 1 ⇒ B = 2
∴ ∫\(\frac{x}{(x+1)(x+2)}\) dx = ∫\(\frac{-1}{(x+1)}\) dx + ∫\(\frac{2}{(x+2)}\) dx
= log(x + 2)2 – log(x + 1) + C [∵ ∫\(\frac{1}{x}\) dx = log|x| + C]
= \(\log \frac{(x+2)^2}{|x+1|}+C\) [∵ loga – logb = log \(\frac{\mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{a}}\)]

Question 2.
\(\frac{1}{x^2-9}\)
Solution:
∫\(\frac{1}{x^2-9}\) dx
= ∫\(\frac{1}{x^2-3^2}\) dx = ∫\(\frac{1}{(x+3)(x-3)}\) dx
Let \(\frac{1}{(x+3)(x-3)}=\frac{A}{(x+3)}+\frac{B}{(x-3)}\)
⇒ 1 = A(x – 3) + B(x + 3) ⇒ 1 = x(A + B) + (-3A + 3B)
On equating the coefficient of x and constant terms on both sides, we get
A + B = 0 and -3A + 3B = 1
On solving, we get A = –\(\frac{1}{6}\) and B = \(\frac{1}{6}\)
∴ ∫\(\frac{1}{(x+3)(x-3)}\) dx = \(\frac{-1}{6(x+3)}\) dx + \(\frac{1}{6(x-3)}\) dx
= \(-\frac{1}{6} \log |x+3|+\frac{1}{6} \log |x-3|+C\)
= \(\frac{1}{6} \log \left|\frac{x-3}{x+3}\right|+C\) [∵ loga – logb = log \(\frac{\mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{a}}\)]
Question 3.
\(\frac{1-x^2}{x(1-2 x)}\)
Solution:
Let ∫\(\frac{1-x^2}{x(1-2 x)}\) dx
Here, degree of numerator is equal to degree of denominator, so divide the numerator by denominator.

On comparing the coefficient of x and constant terms on both sides, we get
2A + B = \(\frac{1}{2}\) and -A = -1 ⇒ A = 1
⇒ 2 × 1 + B = \(\frac{1}{2}\) ⇒ B = \(\frac{1}{2}\) – 2 = \(\frac{-3}{2}\)
∴ I2 = ∫\(\left[\frac{1}{x}-\frac{3}{2(2 x-1)}\right]\) dx = ∫\(\frac{1}{x} d x-\frac{3}{2} \int \frac{1}{2 x-1}\) dx
⇒ I2 = log x – \(\frac{3}{2} \frac{\log |2 x-1|}{2}\) + C2
[∵ ∫\(\frac{1}{x}\) dx = log x + C]
Thus, on putting the values of I1 and I2 in eq(1), we get
I = \(\frac{1}{2}\)x + log x – \(\frac{3}{4}\) log|2x – 1| + C [∵ C1 + C2 = C]

II. Integrate the Rational Functions.
Question 1.
\(\frac{3 x-1}{(x-1)(x-2)(x-3)}\)
Solution:
Let \(\frac{3 x-1}{(x-1)(x-2)(x-3)}=\frac{A}{(x-1)}+\frac{B}{(x-2)}+\frac{C}{(x-3)}\)
⇒ \(\frac{3 x-1}{(x-1)(x-2)(x-3)}\)
⇒ \(\frac{A(x-2)(x-3)+B(x-1)(x-3)+C(x-1)(x-2)}{(x-1)(x-2)(x-3)}\)
⇒ 3x – 1 = A[x2 – 5x + 6] + B[x2 – 4x + 3] + C[x2 – 3x + 2]
⇒ 3x – 1 = x2(A + B + C) + x(-5A – 4B – 3C) + (6A + 3B + 2C)
On equating the coefficients of x2, x and constant terms on both sides, we get
A + B + C = O
-5A – 4B – 3C = 3 ………… (ii)
6A + 3B + 2C = -1 ……….. (iii)
From eq(i), we get A = – (B + C)
On putting the value of A in eq (ii) and (iii), we get
-5{-(B + C)} – 4B – 3C = 3
⇒ 5B + 5C – 4B – 3C = 3 = B + 2C = 3 ……….. (iv)
and 6{-(B + C)} + 3B + 2C = -1
⇒ -6B – 6C + 3B + 2C = -1 – 3B – 4C = -1 ………. (v)
On solving eqs (iv) and (v), we get C = 4
On putting the value of C in eq(iv), we get
B + 2 × 4 = 3 ⇒ B = -5
Putting the value of B and C in eq(i), we get
A +(-5) + 4 = 0 ⇒ A = 1
∴ A = 1, B = -5, C = 4
Now, ∫\(\frac{3 x-1}{(x-1)(x-2)(x-3)}\) dx [∵ ∫\(\frac{1}{x}\) dx = log|x| + C]
= ∫\(\left(\frac{\mathrm{A}}{(\mathrm{x}-1)}+\frac{\mathrm{B}}{(\mathrm{x}-2)}+\frac{\mathrm{C}}{(\mathrm{x}-3)}\right)\) dx
= ∫\(\frac{1}{(x-1)}\) dx + ∫\(\frac{(-5)}{(x-2)}\) dx + ∫\(\frac{4}{x-3)}\) dx
= log|x – 1| – 5 log|x – 2| + 4 log|x – 3| + C

Question 2.
\(\frac{x}{(x-1)(x-2)(x-3)}\)
Solution:
∫\(\frac{x}{(x-1)(x-2)(x-3)}\) dx
Let \(\frac{\mathrm{x}}{(\mathrm{x}-1)(\mathrm{x}-2)(\mathrm{x}-3)}\) = \(\frac{\mathrm{A}}{(\mathrm{x}-1)}+\frac{\mathrm{B}}{(\mathrm{x}-2)}+\frac{\mathrm{C}}{(\mathrm{x}-3)}\)
⇒ \(\frac{x}{(x-1)(x-2)(x-3)}\) = \(\frac{A(x-2)(x-3)+B(x-1)(x-3)+C(x-1)(x-2)}{(x-1)(x-2)(x-3)}\)
⇒ x = A[x2 – 5x + 6] + B[x2 – 4x + 3] + C[x2 – 3x + 2]
⇒ x = x2 (A + B + C) + x(-5A – 4B – 3C)+ (6A + 3B + 2C)
On comparing the coefficients of x2, x and constant terms on both sides, we get
A + B + C = 0 ………… (1)
-5A – 4B – 3C = 1 …………… (ii)
6A + 3B + 2C = O ………. (iii)
From eq(i), we get A = – (B + C)
On putting the value of A in eqs (ii) and (iii), we get
-5{-(B + C)} – 4B – 3C = 1
5B + 5C – 4B – 3C = 1 = B + 2C = 1 ……….. (iv)
and 6 (-(B + C)} + 3B + 2C = 0
⇒ -3B – 4C = 0 ……………. (v)
On solving (iv) & (v), we get C = \(\frac{3}{2}\)
On putting the value of C in eq(iv), we get
B + 2(\(\frac{3}{2}\)) = 1 ⇒ B = -2
Now, put the values of B and C in eq (1) we get
A – 2 + \(\frac{3}{2}\) = 0 ⇒ A = 2 – \(\frac{3}{2}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
∴ A = \(\frac{1}{2}\), B = -2 and C = \(\frac{3}{2}\)
Now, ∫\(\frac{x}{(x-1)(x-2)(x-3)}\) dx [∵ ∫\(\frac{1}{x}\) dx = log|x| + C]
= ∫\(\frac{\mathrm{A}}{(\mathrm{x}-1)}\) dx + ∫\(\frac{\mathrm{B}}{(\mathrm{x}-2)}\) dx + ∫\(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{(\mathrm{x}-3)}\) dx
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) ∫\(\frac{1}{x-1)}\) dx – 2 ∫\(\frac{1}{(x-2)}\) dx + \(\frac{3}{2}\) ∫\(\frac{1}{(x-3)}\) dx
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) log|x – 1| – 2 log|x – 2| + \(\frac{3}{2}\) log|x – 3| + C

Question 3.
\(\frac{2 x}{x^2+3 x+2}\)
Solution:
Let \(\frac{2 x}{x^2+3 x+2}=\frac{2 x}{(x+1)(x+2)}=\frac{A}{(x+1)}+\frac{B}{(x+2)}=\frac{A(x+2)+B(x+1)}{(x+1)(x+2)}\)
⇒ \(\frac{2 \mathrm{x}}{(\mathrm{x}+2)(\mathrm{x}+1)}\) = \(\frac{\mathrm{A}(\mathrm{x}+1)+\mathrm{B}(\mathrm{x}+2)}{(\mathrm{x}+2)(\mathrm{x}+1)}\)
⇒ 2x = x(A + B) + (A + 2B)
On comparing the coefficient of x and constant terms, on both sides, we get
A + B = 2 …………. (1)
and A + 2B = 0 ………….. (ii)
(i) – (ii) ⇒ B = 2 ⇒ B = -2
On putting the value of B in eq (i), we get
A – 2 = 2 ⇒ A = 4
∴ ∫\(\frac{2 \mathrm{x}}{(\mathrm{x}+2)(\mathrm{x}+1)}\) dx = ∫\(\frac{\mathrm{A}}{(\mathrm{x}+2)}\) dx + ∫\(\frac{\mathrm{B}}{(\mathrm{x}+1)}\) dx
= ∫\(\frac{4}{(x+2)}\) dx + ∫\(\frac{(-2)}{(x+1)}\) dx
= 4log |x + 2| – 2log |x + 1| + C
Question 4.
\(\frac{x}{\left(x^2+1\right)(x-1)}\)
Solution:
∫\(\frac{x}{\left(x^2+1\right)(x-1)}\) dx
Let \(\frac{x}{\left(x^2+1\right)(x-1)}\) = \(\frac{A}{x-1}+\frac{B x+C}{x^2+1}\)
⇒ x = A(x2 + 1) + (Bx + C) (x – 1) ………….(1)
Substituting x = 1 and O in eq (ii), we get
1 = A(2) and 0 = A – C ⇒ A = \(\frac{1}{2}\) and C = A = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
On equating the coefficient of x2 on the both sides in eq (ii), we get
0 = A + B ⇒ B = -A = \(\frac{-1}{2}\)


Question 5.
\(\frac{2}{(1-x)\left(1+x^2\right)}\)
Solution:
Let \(\frac{2}{(1-x)\left(1+x^2\right)}\) = \(\frac{A}{1-x}+\frac{B x+C}{1+x^2}\)
⇒ \(\frac{2}{(1-x)\left(1+x^2\right)}\) = \(\frac{A\left(1+x^2\right)+(B x+C)(1-x)}{(1-x)\left(1+x^2\right)}\)
⇒ A + Ax+ Bx+ C – Bx2 – Cx
⇒ 2 = x2(A – B) + x(B – C) + (A + C)
On comparing the coefficients of x2, x and constant terms on both sides, we get
A -B = 0 ⇒ A = B ………… (i)
B – C = 0 ⇒ B = C …………. (ii)
and A + C = 2 ………… (iii)
From eq (i) and (ii), we get A = C put this value in eq (iii) we get 2A = 2 ⇒ A = 1
Put the value of A in eq (ii) and (iii), we get B = 1 and C = 1
∴ \(\frac{2}{(1-x)\left(1+x^2\right)}=\frac{1}{1-x}+\frac{x+1}{1+x^2}\)
= ∫\(\frac{1}{1-x}\) dx + \(\frac{1}{2}\) ∫\(\frac{2 x}{x^2+1}\) dx + ∫\(\frac{1}{x^2+1}\) dx
Let x2 + 1 = t ⇒ 2x dx = dt
∫\(\frac{2 x}{x^2+1}\) dx = ∫\(\frac{1}{t}\) dt = log t
= log |1 – x| + \(\frac{1}{2}\) log(1 + x2) + tan-1x +
Question 6.
\(\frac{3 x-1}{(x+2)^2}\)
Solution:
Let \(\frac{3 x-1}{(x+2)^2}\) = \(\frac{A}{x+2}+\frac{B}{(x+2)^2}\)
⇒ 3x – 1 = A(x + 2) + B
On equating the coefficient of x and constant terms on both sides, we get A = 3 and
2A + B = -1 ⇒ 2(3) + B = -1 ⇒ B = -7
∴ \(\frac{3 x-1}{(x+2)^2}\) = \(\frac{3}{x+2}+\frac{7}{(x+2)^2}\)
∴ ∫\(\frac{3 x-1}{(x+2)^2}\) = 3 ∫\(\frac{1}{(x+2)}\) dx – 7 ∫\(\frac{1}{(x+2)^2}\) dx
= 3 log |x + 2| – 7 \(\left(\frac{-1}{x+2}\right)\) + C
= 3 log |x + 2| + \(\frac{7}{x+2}\) + C

Question 7.
\(\frac{1}{x\left(x^n+1\right)}\)
[Hint: Multiply numerator and denominator by xn-1 and put xn = t]
Solution:
Let I = ∫\(\frac{1}{x\left(x^n+1\right)}\) dx
Put xn = t ⇒ nxn-1dx = dt ⇒ xn-1 dx = \(\frac{1}{n}\) dt
∴ ∫\(\frac{\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{n}-1}}{\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{n}}\left(\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{n}}+1\right)}\) dx = \(\frac{1}{n} \int \frac{1}{t(t+1)} d t\) ………….. (i)
Now, \(\frac{1}{t(t+1)}=\frac{A}{t}+\frac{B}{(t+1)}\)
1 = A(1 + t) + Bt ………….. (ii)
On substituting t = 0, -1 in equation (ii), we get
A = 1 and B = -1
∴ \(\frac{1}{t(t+1)}=\frac{1}{t}-\frac{1}{(t+1)}\)
∴ \(\frac{1}{n} \int\left[\frac{1}{t}-\frac{1}{(t+1)}\right]\) dt = \(\frac{1}{n}\) [log |t| – log |t + 1| + C
= \(\frac{1}{n}\) [log |xn| = log(xn + 1)] + C [put t = xn]
= \(\frac{1}{n} \log \left|\frac{x^n}{x^n+1}\right|\) + C
Question 8.
\(\frac{1}{\left(e^x-1\right)}\) [Hint: Put ex = t]
Solution:
Let I = ∫\(\frac{1}{\left(e^x-1\right)}\) dx
On mutliplying numerator & denominator by e-x,
I = ∫\(\frac{e^{-x}}{1-e^{-x}}\) dx
Put 1 – e-x = t ⇒ -e-x (-1) = \(\frac{d t}{d x}\) ⇒ e-x dx = dt
∴ I = ∫\(\frac{d t}{t}\) = log |t| + C = log |1 – e-x| + C
= \(\log \left|\frac{e^x-1}{e^x}\right|\) + C

Question 9.
\(\frac{e^x}{\left(1+e^x\right)\left(2+e^x\right)}\)
Solution:
Let I = ∫\(\frac{e^x}{\left(1+e^x\right)\left(2+e^x\right)}\) dx
Put ex = t ⇒ ex dx = dt
∴ I = ∫\(\frac{e^x}{1+t)(2+t)} \frac{d t}{e^x}\) = ∫\(\frac{1}{(1+t)(2+t)}\) dt
Let \(\frac{1}{(1+t)(2+t)}\) = \(\frac{A}{(1+t)}+\frac{B}{(2+t)}\) = \(\frac{A(2+t)+B(1+t)}{(1+t)(2+t)}\)
⇒ 1 = (A + B)t + (2A + B)
On equating the coefficients of t and constant terms on both sides, we get A + B = O and 2A + B = 1
On solving both equations we get A = 1 & B = -1
I = ∫\(\frac{1}{(1+t)}\) dt – ∫\(\frac{1}{(2+t)}\) dt
= log |1 + t| – log |2 + t| + C
= \(\log \left|\frac{1+t}{2+t}\right|\) + C
= \(\log \left|\frac{1+e^x}{2+e^x}\right|\) + C
Question 10.
\(\frac{1}{\left(x^2+1\right)\left(x^2+4\right)}\)
Solution:
∫\(\frac{1}{\left(x^2+1\right)\left(x^2+4\right)}\) dx
Let \(\frac{1}{\left(x^2+1\right)\left(x^2+4\right)}\) = \(\frac{A x+B}{x^2+1}\) + \(\frac{C x+D}{x^2+1}\)
⇒ 1 = (Ax + B) (x2 + 4) + (Cx + D) (x2 + 1)
On comparing the coefficients of x3, x2, x and constant terms on both sides, we get
A + C = 0, B + D = 0, 4A + C = 0 and 4B + D = 1
On solving these equations, we get
A = 0, C = OB = and D = \(\frac{-1}{3}\)
∴ ∫\(\frac{1}{\left(x^2+1\right)\left(x^2+4\right)}\) dx = \(\frac{1}{3}\left(\int \frac{1}{\left(x^2+1\right)}-\frac{1}{\left(x^2+4\right)}\right)\) dx
= \(\frac{1}{3}\left[\tan ^{-1} x-\frac{1}{2} \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)\right]\) + C

x = A(x – 1)(x + 2) + B(x + 2) + C(x – 1)2 ………….. (2)
Put x = 1, -2 in eq (2) we get
1 = B(1 + 2) ⇒ B = 1/3
-2 = C(-2 – 1)2 ⇒ C = \(\frac{2}{9}\)
On comparing coefficient of x2 in eqn (2) then
0 = A + C ⇒ A = -C = \(\frac{2}{9}\) ⇒ A = \(\frac{2}{9}\)
Substituting A, B & C values in eqn (1) then

3x + 5 = A(x2 – 1) + B(x + 1) + C(x – 1)2
3x + 5 = x2(A + C) + x (B – 2C) + (B + C – A) ……….. (2)
Put x = 1 then 8 = 2B ⇒ B = 4
Put x = -1 then 2 = 4C ⇒ C = 1/2
On comparing coefficients of x2 in eqn (2) then
A + C = O ⇒ A = -C = -1/2
Substitute A, B, C values in eqn(1) then

2x – 3 = A(2x + 3)(x + 1) + B(x – 1)(2x + 3) + C(x – 1)(x + 1) ………… (2)
Put x = 1 in eqn (2) then -1 = 10A ⇒ A = \(\frac{-1}{10}\)
Put x = -1 in eqn(2) then -5 = B(-2) ⇒ B = \(\frac{5}{2}\)
Put x = \(\frac{-3}{2}\) in eqn(2) then -6 = C(\(\frac{-3}{2}\) -1)(\(\frac{-3}{2}\) + 1)
-6 = C(\(\frac{-5}{2}\))(\(\frac{-1}{2}\)) ⇒ -24 = 5C ⇒ C = –\(\frac{24}{5}\)
Substitute A, B, C values in eqn(1) then

Question 4.
\(\frac{5 x}{(x+1)\left(x^2-4\right)}\)

Let \(\frac{5 x}{(x+1)\left(x^2-4\right)}=\frac{A}{(x+1)}+\frac{B}{(x+2)}+\frac{C}{(x-2)}\) …….. (1)
5x = A(x2 – 4) + B(x + 1)(x – 2) + C(x + 1)(x + 2) ………… (2)
Put x = -1 in eqn(2) then -5 ⇒ -3A = -5 ⇒ A = \(\frac{5}{3}\)
Put x = 2 in eqn(2) then 10 = C(3)(4) ⇒ C = \(\frac{5}{6}\)

2x + 1 = A(x + 1) + B(x – 1) …………. (3)
Put x = 1 in eqn(3) then 3 = 2A ⇒ A = \(\frac{3}{2}\)
Put x = -1 in eqn(3) then -1 = -2B ⇒ D = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Substitute A, B values in eq(2) then
\(\frac{2 x+1}{x^2-1}\) = \(\frac{3 / 2}{x-1}+\frac{1 / 2}{x+1}\) ……….. (4)
From 1 & 4 we get
\(\frac{x^3+x+1}{x^2-1}\) = x + \(\frac{3}{2(x-1)}\) + \(\frac{1}{2(x+1)}\)
∴ ∫\(\frac{x^3+x+1}{x^2-1}\) dx = v x dx + \(\frac{3}{2}\) ∫\(\frac{1}{x-1}\) dx + \(\frac{1}{2}\) ∫\(\frac{1}{x+1}\) dx
= \(\frac{x^2}{2}\) + \(\frac{3}{2}\) log|x – 1| + \(\frac{1}{2}\)log|x + 1| + C

Question 6.
\(\frac{1}{x^4-1}\)
Solution:
Consider \(\frac{1}{x^4-1}\) = \(\frac{1}{(x-1)(x+1)\left(x^2+1\right)}\)
Let \(\frac{1}{(x+1)(x-1)\left(x^2+1\right)}=\frac{A}{(x+1)}+\frac{B}{(x-1)}+\frac{C x+D}{\left(x^2+1\right)}\) ………… (1)
⇒ 1 = A(x + 1) (x2 + 1) + B(x – 1) (x2 + 1) + (Cx + D)(x2 – 1)
Put x = -1 then 1 = -4B ⇒ B=—1/4
Put x = 1 then 1 = 4A ⇒ A = 1/4
Put x = 0 then 1 = A – B – D
D = \(\frac{1}{4}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\) – 1 = -2/4 = -1/2
On comparing the coefficients of x on both sides,
0 = A + B – C ⇒ C = A + B = \(\frac{1}{4}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\) = 0
Substituting the values of A, B, C & D in (1),
\(\frac{1}{(x-1)(x+1)\left(x^2+1\right)}\) = \(\frac{1 / 4}{(x-1)}+\frac{-1 / 4}{x+1}+\frac{-1 / 2}{x^2+1}\)
∴ ∫\(\frac{1}{x^4-1}\) dx = \(\frac{1}{4}\) ∫\(\frac{1}{x-1}\) – \(\frac{1}{4}\) ∫\(\frac{1}{x+1}\) dx – \(\frac{1}{2}\) ∫\(\frac{1}{x^2+1}\) dx
= \(\frac{1}{4}\) log |x – 1| – \(\frac{1}{4}\) log|x + 1| – \(\frac{1}{2}\) tan-1 + C
= \(\frac{1}{4}\) log\(\frac{x-1}{x+1}\) – \(\frac{1}{2}\)tan-1x + C [∵ ∫\(\frac{1}{x^2+1}\) dx = tan-1x + C]
Question 7.

Put sin x = t ⇒ cos xdx = dt
Consider \(\frac{1}{(1-t)(2-t)}\) = \(\frac{A}{1-t}+\frac{B}{2-t}\) ………… (1)
1 = A(2 – t) + B(1 – t)
Put t = 1, 2 then A = 1 & B = -1
Substituting A, B values in eq(1) then

Consider ∫\(\frac{2 x}{\left(x^2+1\right)\left(x^2+3\right)}\) dx
Put x2 = t ⇒ 2x dx = dt
Let \(\frac{1}{(t+1)(t+3)}=\frac{A}{t+1}+\frac{B}{t+3}=\frac{A(t+3)+B(t+1)}{(t+1)(t+3)}\)
⇒ 1 = A(t + 3) + B(t + 1)
Put t = -1 then 2A = 1 ⇒ A = 1/2
Put t = -3 then -2B = 1 ⇒ B = -1/2
∴ ∫\(\frac{\mathrm{dt}}{(\mathrm{t}+1)(\mathrm{t}+3)}\) = \(\int \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{t+1} d t-\int \frac{1 / 2}{t+3} d t\)
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) ∫\(\frac{1}{t+1}\) dt – \(\frac{1}{2}\) ∫\(\frac{1}{t+3}\) dt
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) log|t + 1| – \(\frac{1}{2}\) log|t + 3| + C
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) log|x2 + 1| – \(\frac{1}{2}\) log|x2 + 3| + C
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) log\(\left|\frac{x^2+1}{x^2+3}\right|\) + C

Question 10.
\(\frac{1}{x\left(x^4-1\right)}\)
Solution:

Question 11.
\(\frac{1}{x-x^3}\)
Solution:
\(\int \frac{1}{x-x^3} d x\) = \(\int \frac{1}{x\left(1-x^2\right)} d x=\int \frac{1}{x(1-x)(1+x)} d x\)
Consider \(\frac{1}{x(1-x)(1+x)}=\frac{A}{x}+\frac{B}{1-x}+\frac{C}{1+x}\) ……….. (1)
1 = A(1 – x2) + Bx(1 + x) + Cx(1 – x) ………….. (2)
Put x = 0 in eq (2) then 1 = A
Put x = 1 in eq (2) then 1 = 2B ⇒ B = 1/2
Put x = -1 in eq (2) then 1 = -2C ⇒ C = -1/2
Substitute A, B, C values in eqn(1) then
\(\frac{1}{x\left(1-x^2\right)}\) = \(\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{2(1-x)}-\frac{1}{2(1+x)}\)
∫\(\frac{1}{x\left(1-x^2\right)}\) dx = ∫\(\frac{1}{x}\) dx + \(\frac{1}{2}\) ∫\(\frac{1}{1-x}\) dx – \(\frac{1}{2}\) ∫\(\frac{1}{1+x}\) dx
= log x – \(\frac{1}{2}\) log|1 – x| – \(\frac{1}{2}\) log|1 + x| + C
= log x2 – \(\frac{1}{2}\) [log(1 – x2)] + C
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) log \(\frac{x^2}{1-x^2}\) + C

Question 12.
\(\frac{1}{x^{\frac{1}{2}}+x^{\frac{1}{3}}}\) [Hint: \(\frac{1}{x^{\frac{1}{3}}\left(1+x^{\frac{1}{6}}\right)}\), put x = t6]
Solution:

Question 13.
\(\frac{5 x}{(x+1)\left(x^2+9\right)}\)
Solution:
∫\(\frac{5 x}{(x+1)\left(x^2+9\right)}\) dx
Consider \(\frac{5 x}{(x+1)\left(x^2+9\right)}\) = \(\frac{A}{x+1}+\frac{B x+C}{x^2+9}\) ………… (1)
5x = A(x2 + 9) + (Bx + C) (x + 1) ……….. (2)
Put x = -1 in eqn(2) then 5(-1) ⇒ 10A = -5 ⇒ A = -1/2
Comparing the coefficient of x2 on both sides,
0 = A + B ⇒ B = -A = 1/2
Comparing the coefficient of x2 on both sides,
5 = B + C ⇒ 5 = \(-\frac{1}{2}\) + C ⇒ C = 5 – \(-\frac{1}{2}\) = \(-\frac{9}{2}\)
Substituting A, B, C values in eqn (1) then


Question 14.
\(\frac{x^2+x+1}{(x+1)^2(x+2)}\)
Solution:
∫\(\frac{x^2+x+1}{(x+1)^2(x+2)}\) dx
Consider \(\frac{x^2+x+1}{(x+1)^2(x+2)}=\frac{A}{(x+1)}+\frac{B}{(x+1)^2}+\frac{C}{(x+2)}\) ……….. (1)
x2 + x + 1 = A(x + 1) (x + 2) + B(x + 2) + C(x + 1)2 ………….. (2)
Put x = -1 in eq(2) then 1 – 1 + 1 = B ⇒ B = 1
Put x = -2 in eq(2) then 4 – 2 + 1 = C(-1)2 ⇒ C = 3
Comparing the coefficients of x2 on both sides,
1 = A + C ⇒ A = 1 – C = 1 – 3 = -2
Substituting A, B, C values in eq (1) then
\(\frac{x^2+x+1}{(x+1)^2(x+2)}\) = \(\frac{-2}{x+1}+\frac{1}{(x+1)^2}+\frac{3}{x+2}\)
∫\(\frac{x^2+x+1}{(x+1)^2(x+2)}\) dx
= – ∫\(\frac{1}{x+1}\) dx + ∫\(\frac{1}{(x+1)^2}\) dx + 3∫\(\frac{1}{x+2}\) dx
= -2 log|x + 1| – \(\frac{1}{x+1}\) + 3 log|x + 2| + C
