37–56. Integrals Evaluate each integral.


∫₂₅²²⁵ dx / (x² + 25x) (Hint: √(x² + 25x) = √x √(x + 25).)

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Start by examining the integral \( \int \frac{dx}{x^{2} + 25x} \). Notice that the denominator can be factored as \( x(x + 25) \).
Rewrite the integral using the factorization: \( \int \frac{dx}{x(x + 25)} \). This suggests using partial fraction decomposition to simplify the integrand.
Set up the partial fractions: \( \frac{1}{x(x + 25)} = \frac{A}{x} + \frac{B}{x + 25} \). Multiply both sides by \( x(x + 25) \) to find \( A \) and \( B \).
Solve for \( A \) and \( B \) by substituting convenient values for \( x \) (such as \( x = 0 \) and \( x = -25 \)) or by equating coefficients.
Once you have \( A \) and \( B \), rewrite the integral as \( \int \left( \frac{A}{x} + \frac{B}{x + 25} \right) dx \) and integrate each term separately using the natural logarithm function.
