Q. Evaluate 124x221x+30x3dx \int_{1}^{2} \frac{4 x^{2}-21 x+30}{x-3} d x . Write your answer in simplest form with all logs condensed into a single logarithm (if necessary).
  1. Perform Polynomial Long Division: Perform polynomial long division to simplify the integrand.\newlineWe need to divide the polynomial 4x221x+304x^2 - 21x + 30 by x3x - 3.
  2. Polynomial Long Division Calculation: Polynomial long division calculation.\newline(4x221x+30)÷(x3)=4x+3(4x^2 - 21x + 30) \div (x - 3) = 4x + 3 with a remainder of 3(x3)+30-3(x - 3) + 30.\newlineSo, 4x221x+30x3=4x+33x3\frac{4x^2 - 21x + 30}{x - 3} = 4x + 3 - \frac{3}{x - 3}.
  3. Set Up Integral: Set up the integral with the simplified integrand. 12(4x+33x3)dx=12(4x+3)dx12(3x3)dx\int_{1}^{2}(4x + 3 - \frac{3}{x - 3})dx = \int_{1}^{2}(4x + 3)dx - \int_{1}^{2}\left(\frac{3}{x - 3}\right)dx.
  4. Integrate Each Term: Integrate each term separately.\newlineThe integral of 4x4x is 2x22x^2, the integral of 33 is 3x3x, and the integral of 3x3-\frac{3}{x - 3} is $\(-3\)\ln|x - \(3\)|.
  5. Calculate Definite Integral: Calculate the definite integral from \(1\) to \(2\).
    \[\int_{1}^{2}(4x + 3)\,dx = [2x^2 + 3x]_1^2 = (2(2)^2 + 3(2)) - (2(1)^2 + 3(1)),\]
    \[\int_{1}^{2}\left(\frac{3}{x - 3}\right)dx = [-3\ln|x - 3|]_1^2 = -3\ln|2 - 3| + 3\ln|1 - 3|.\]
  6. Perform Calculations: Perform the calculations for each part.\(\newline\)For the polynomial part: \((2(2)^2 + 3(2)) - (2(1)^2 + 3(1)) = (8 + 6) - (2 + 3) = 14 - 5 = 9\).\(\newline\)For the logarithmic part: \(-3\ln|2 - 3| + 3\ln|1 - 3| = -3\ln|-1| + 3\ln|-2| = -3\ln(1) + 3\ln(2) = 3\ln(2)\).
  7. 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: \(9 + 3\ln(2)\).
