Chapter 5: Q. 17 (page 477)

Express each improper integral in Exercises15鈥�20 as a sum of limits of proper definite integrals. Do not calculate any integrals or limits; just write them down.
${鈭�}_{1}^{5} \frac{1}{2 x^{2} - 10 x + 12} d x$

Short Answer

The integral is ${鈭�}_{1}^{2} \frac{1}{2 x^{2} - 10 x + 12} d x + {鈭�}_{2}^{25} \frac{1}{2 x^{2} - 10 x + 12} d x + {鈭�}_{25}^{3} \frac{1}{2 x^{2} - 10 x + 12} d x + {鈭�}_{3}^{5} \frac{1}{2 x^{2} - 10 x + 12} d x$ .

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given information.

We are given an integrals,

${鈭�}_{1}^{5} \frac{1}{2 x^{2} - 10 x + 12} d x$

Step 2. Graph of function

Let $f (x) = \frac{1}{2 x^{2} - 10 x + 12}$ ,

The graph is as follows,

Step 3. Expressing the Integral.

It can be seen from the graph that the function has vertical asymptotes at $x = 2$ and

$x = 3$ .

Interval of integration contains points $2, 3$ , which are not in the domain.

That is split the integral at some points, $x = 2, x = 2.5, x = 3$ , in order to separately consider the limit as $x 鈫� 鈭�$ .

So,

{鈭�}_{1}^{5} \frac{1}{2 x^{2} - 10 x + 12} d x = {鈭�}_{1}^{2} \frac{1}{2 x^{2} - 10 x + 12} d x + {鈭�}_{2}^{25} \frac{1}{2 x^{2} - 10 x + 12} d x + {鈭�}_{25}^{3} \frac{1}{2 x^{2} - 10 x + 12} d x + {鈭�}_{3}^{5} \frac{1}{2 x^{2} - 10 x + 12} d x
