Q. Evaluate 612x7x5dx \int_{6}^{12} \frac{x-7}{x-5} d x . Write your answer in simplest form with all logs condensed into a single logarithm (if necessary).
  1. Integrating Terms Separately: The integral of a constant 11 with respect to xx is simply xx. The integral of 2(x5)-\frac{2}{(x-5)} is 2-2 times the natural logarithm of the absolute value of (x5)(x-5). We will integrate each term separately.\newline(x7)(x5)dx=1dx21(x5)dx\int\frac{(x-7)}{(x-5)} dx = \int 1 dx - 2\int\frac{1}{(x-5)} dx\newline=x2lnx5+C= x - 2\ln|x-5| + C
  2. Evaluating Definite Integral: Now we need to evaluate the definite integral from 66 to 1212. \newline612x7x5dx=[x2lnx5] from 6 to 12\int_{6}^{12} \frac{x-7}{x-5} \, dx = [x - 2\ln|x-5|] \text{ from } 6 \text{ to } 12\newline= [122ln125][62ln65][12 - 2\ln|12-5|] - [6 - 2\ln|6-5|]\newline= 122ln(7)6+2ln(1)12 - 2\ln(7) - 6 + 2\ln(1)
  3. Simplifying Expression: We simplify the expression by performing the arithmetic operations and using the fact that ln(1)=0\ln(1) = 0.122ln(7)6+2ln(1)=62ln(7)12 - 2\ln(7) - 6 + 2\ln(1) = 6 - 2\ln(7)
  4. Final Answer: Now we can write the final answer in simplest form.\newlineThe integral of x7x5\frac{x-7}{x-5} from 66 to 1212 is 62ln(7)6 - 2\ln(7).
