Q. Evaluate ∫11e3+10x−102x−19dx. Write your answer in simplest form with all logs condensed into a single logarithm (if necessary).
Simplify: Simplify the integrand if possible.The integrand (2x−19)/(x−10) can be simplified by long division since the degree of the numerator is equal to the degree of the denominator. We divide 2x by x to get 2 and multiply (x−10) by 2 to get 2x−20. We then subtract this from the numerator to get a remainder of 1. So, the integrand simplifies to 2+1/(x−10).
Break down: Break the integral into two simpler integrals.We can write the integral as the sum of two simpler integrals:∫x−102x−19dx=∫2dx+∫x−101dx
Integrate separately: Integrate each term separately.The integral of 2 with respect to x is 2x, and the integral of 1/(x−10) with respect to x is ln∣x−10∣. So we have:∫2dx=2x∫(x−10)1dx=ln∣x−10∣
Combine and evaluate: Combine the antiderivatives and evaluate the definite integral.The combined antiderivative is 2x+ln∣x−10∣. We need to evaluate this from 11 to e3+10:(2x+ln∣x−10∣) evaluated from 11 to e3+10 is:(2(e3+10)+ln∣e3+10−10∣)−(2(11)+ln∣11−10∣)
Simplify expression: Simplify the expression.Now we plug in the limits of integration:=(2(e3+10)+ln∣e3∣)−(22+ln∣1∣)=(2e3+20+ln(e3))−(22+ln(1))Since ln(e3)=3 and ln(1)=0, we can further simplify:=(2e3+20+3)−(22+0)=2e3+23−22=2e3+1
