Decomposition Method: To solve the integral of the given rational function, we will use the method of partial fractions" target="_blank" class="backlink">fraction decomposition. This method involves expressing the integrand as a sum of simpler fractions whose denominators are the factors of the original denominator.
Decompose Integrands: First, we need to decompose the integrand into partial fractions. We assume that the integrand can be written in the form:(2x3+7x2+7x+9)/((x2+x+1)(x2+x+2))=A/(x2+x+1)+B/(x2+x+2)where A and B are constants to be determined.
Find Constants A and B: To find the constants A and B, we multiply both sides of the equation by the common denominator (x2+x+1)(x2+x+2) to get:2x3+7x2+7x+9=A(x2+x+2)+B(x2+x+1)
Solve for A and B: Now we need to solve for A and B. To do this, we can either compare coefficients or plug in convenient values for x to create a system of equations. Let's choose to plug in values for x that will simplify the equation. We can choose x=−1 and x=−2, which will zero out one of the terms on the right side in each case.
Plug in Values: Plugging in x=−1, we get:2(−1)3+7(−1)2+7(−1)+9=A((−1)2+(−1)+2)−2+7−7+9=A(1−1+2)7=2AA=27
Calculate A and B: Plugging in x=−2, we get:2(−2)3+7(−2)2+7(−2)+9=B((−2)2+(−2)+1)−16+28−14+9=B(4−2+1)7=3BB=37
Rewrite Integrands: Now that we have the values for A and B, we can rewrite the integrand as: (x2+x+1)(x2+x+2)2x3+7x2+7x+9=x2+x+127+x2+x+237
Integrate Separately: We can now integrate each term separately. The integrals do not correspond to elementary functions, so we will need to use a substitution or another method to integrate them. However, we notice that the numerators are not the derivatives of the denominators, which is usually a requirement for a straightforward integration of rational functions. This suggests that we may have made a mistake in our partial fraction decomposition.
