Question

x+2x2+2x+3dx is equal to 

Moderate
Solution

Let 
x+2=Addxx2+2x+3+B      x+2=A(2x+2)+B        x+2=2Ax+(2A+B)
On equating the coefficient of x and constant term on both sides, we get
      2A=1A=12
and 2A+B=22×12+B=2
     B=2-1=1     x+2=122x+2+1
x+2x2+2x+3dx=12(2x+2)+1x2+2x+3dx                                    =122x+2x2+2x+3dx+dxx2+2x+3
Let  l1=2x+2x2+2x+3dx and I2=dxx2+2x+3
Then,x+2x2+2x+3dx=12I1+I2          .....(i)
Now,   I1=2x+2x2+2x+3dx
Let x2+2x+3=t(2x+2)dx=dt
      I2=dtt=t1/2dt=t(1/2)+11/2+1+C=2t+C1   =2x2+2x+3+C1
and
 I2=dxx2+2x+3=dxx2+2x+(1)2+3(1)2   =dx(x+1)2+(2)2
Let x+1=tdx=dtI2=dtt2+(2)2=logt+t2+2+C2
                          dxx2+a2=logx+x2+a2
=logx+1+(x+1)2+2+C2=logx+1+x2+2x+3+C2
On putting the values of l1 and l2 in Eq. (i), we get
x+2x2+2x+3dx=122x2+2x+3+logx+1+x2+2x+312C1+C2=C=x2+2x+3+logx+1+x2+2x+3+C
