2–74. Integration techniques Use the methods introduced in Sections 8.1 through 8.5 to evaluate the following integrals.
12. ∫ (8x + 5)/(2x² + 3x + 1) dx

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the integral to solve: \(\int \frac{8x + 5}{2x^{2} + 3x + 1} \, dx\).
Factor the denominator if possible. The quadratic \(2x^{2} + 3x + 1\) factors as \((2x + 1)(x + 1)\).
Express the integrand as a sum of partial fractions: \(\frac{8x + 5}{(2x + 1)(x + 1)} = \frac{A}{2x + 1} + \frac{B}{x + 1}\), where \(A\) and \(B\) are constants to be determined.
Multiply both sides by the denominator \((2x + 1)(x + 1)\) to get: \(8x + 5 = A(x + 1) + B(2x + 1)\). Then, expand and collect like terms to form an equation in \(x\).
Solve the system of equations for \(A\) and \(B\) by equating coefficients of \(x\) and the constant terms. Once \(A\) and \(B\) are found, rewrite the integral as the sum of two simpler integrals and integrate each using the natural logarithm rule: \(\int \frac{1}{ax + b} \, dx = \frac{1}{a} \ln|ax + b| + C\).

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Partial Fraction Decomposition

Partial fraction decomposition is a technique used to break down a rational function into simpler fractions that are easier to integrate. It is especially useful when the denominator can be factored into linear or quadratic terms. This method transforms the integral into a sum of simpler integrals.

Substitution Method

The substitution method simplifies integration by changing variables to transform the integral into a more manageable form. It is often used when the integrand contains a function and its derivative, allowing the integral to be rewritten in terms of a single variable.
