Full solution

Q. 9x+2x2+x6dx\int\frac{9x+2}{x^{2}+x-6}\,dx
  1. Factor Denominator: Factor the denominator of the integrand.\newlineThe denominator x2+x6x^2 + x - 6 can be factored into (x+3)(x2)(x + 3)(x - 2).\newlineSo, the integral becomes 9x+2(x+3)(x2)dx\int \frac{9x + 2}{(x + 3)(x - 2)} \, dx.
  2. Partial Fraction Decomposition: Perform partial fraction decomposition.\newlineWe want to express (9x+2)/((x+3)(x2))(9x + 2) / ((x + 3)(x - 2)) as A/(x+3)+B/(x2)A / (x + 3) + B / (x - 2).\newlineTo find AA and BB, we set up the equation 9x+2=A(x2)+B(x+3)9x + 2 = A(x - 2) + B(x + 3).
  3. Solve for A and B: Solve for A and B.\newlineTo find AA and BB, we can use the method of equating coefficients or plugging in convenient values for xx. Let's use the latter method.\newlineFor x=2x = 2, we get 9(2)+2=B(2+3)9(2) + 2 = B(2 + 3), which gives us B=(18+2)/5=4B = (18 + 2) / 5 = 4.\newlineFor x=3x = -3, we get 9(3)+2=A(32)9(-3) + 2 = A(-3 - 2), which gives us A=(27+2)/5=5A = (-27 + 2) / -5 = 5.
  4. Rewrite with Partial Fractions: Rewrite the integral using the partial fractions.\newlineNow that we have A=5A = 5 and B=4B = 4, the integral becomes 5(x+3)dx+4(x2)dx\int \frac{5}{(x + 3)} \, dx + \int \frac{4}{(x - 2)} \, dx.
  5. Integrate Each Term: Integrate each term separately.\newlineThe integral of 5x+3dx\frac{5}{x + 3} \, dx is 5lnx+35 \cdot \ln|x + 3|, and the integral of 4x2dx\frac{4}{x - 2} \, dx is $\(4\) \cdot \ln|x - \(2\)|.
  6. Combine and Add Constant: Combine the results and add the constant of integration. The final answer is \(5 \cdot \ln|x + 3| + 4 \cdot \ln|x - 2| + C\), where \(C\) is the constant of integration.
