Simplify Denominator: Simplify the denominator of the integrand.We have the integral:∫4x2−12x+10(16x−20)dxFirst, we can factor out a 4 from the denominator to simplify the expression:∫4(x2−3x+2.5)(16x−20)dxNow, we can cancel out the common factor of 4 from the numerator and the denominator:∫4(x2−3x+2.5)4(4x−5)dx= ∫x2−3x+2.5(4x−5)dx
Complete Square:Complete the square for the denominator.The denominator is a quadratic expression, and we can complete the square to make it easier to integrate:x2−3x+2.5 can be written as (x−1.5)2−1.52+2.5= (x−1.5)2−0.25Now, the integral becomes:∫((4x−5)dx)/((x−1.5)2−0.25)
Use Substitution: Use substitution to solve the integral.Let u=(x−1.5)2−0.25, then du=2(x−1.5)dx.To match the numerator 4x−5, we need to express it in terms of (x−1.5). We can rewrite the numerator as:4x−5=4(x−1.5)+1Now, we can split the integral into two parts:∫((4(x−1.5)+1)dx)/(u)=4∗∫((x−1.5)dx)/(u)+∫(dx)/(u)For the first part, we can use the substitution:4∗∫((x−1.5)dx)/(u)=4∗21∗∫(du)/(u)=2∗∫(du)/(u)For the second part, we need to adjust the substitution to match the dx term:∫(dx)/(u)=∫(du)/(2(x−1.5)(u))However, we cannot directly integrate the second part as it stands because it does not match our substitution. We need to express (x−1.5) in terms of du=2(x−1.5)dx0.
