Q. Evaluate the integral ∫x+22x+1dx.Choose 1 answer:(A) 2x−3ln∣x+2∣+C(B) ln∣x+2∣+C(C) x+ln∣2x+1∣+C(D) 2x−ln∣x+2∣+C
Divide and Simplify: Let's do long division first to simplify the integral.(2x+1)/(x+2) can be divided to get 2 with a remainder of −3.So, (2x+1)/(x+2)=2−3/(x+2).
Split Integral: Now we can split the integral into two parts. ∫x+22x+1dx=∫2dx−∫x+23dx.
Integrate Separately: Integrate each part separately.The integral of 2dx is 2x.The integral of (x+2)3dx is 3ln∣x+2∣.
Combine Integrals: Combine the two integrals.So, ∫x+22x+1dx=2x−3ln∣x+2∣+C.
Check Answer Choices: Check the answer choices.The correct answer matches with (A) 2x−3ln∣x+2∣+C.
