Q. Evaluate ∫12x−34x2−21x+30dx. Write your answer in simplest form with all logs condensed into a single logarithm (if necessary).
Perform Polynomial Long Division: Perform polynomial long division to simplify the integrand.We need to divide the polynomial 4x2−21x+30 by x−3.
Polynomial Long Division Calculation: Polynomial long division calculation.(4x2−21x+30)÷(x−3)=4x+3 with a remainder of −3(x−3)+30.So, x−34x2−21x+30=4x+3−x−33.
Set Up Integral: Set up the integral with the simplified integrand. ∫12(4x+3−x−33)dx=∫12(4x+3)dx−∫12(x−33)dx.
Integrate Each Term: Integrate each term separately.The integral of 4x is 2x2, the integral of 3 is 3x, and the integral of −x−33 is $\(-3\)\ln|x - \(3\)|.
Combine Results: Combine the results to get the final answer.\(\newline\)The final answer is the sum of the polynomial part and the logarithmic part: \(9 + 3\ln(2)\).
