Question

Statement 1: For 1<a<4

dxx2+2(a1)x+a+5=λlog|g(x)|+C, where  λ and C

are constants

Statement 2: For 1<a<4,f(x)=1x2+2(a1)x+a+5 is 

a continuous function.

Moderate
Solution

The discriminant of x2+2(a1)x+a+5=0

is 4(a1)24(a+5)=4a23a4<0 hence the integral 

dxx2+2(a1)x+a+5=λtan1g(x)+C

Since the denominator is not zero for any value of x so f is a
continuous function.
