Question: Find the integral of the following rational function: $$\int \frac{20 x}{(x-1)\left(x^{2}+4 x+5\right)} d x$$ Answer: $$\int \frac{20 x}{(x-1)\left(x^{2}+4 x+5\right)} d x = 4ln|x-1| - 6ln|x^2+4x+5|+C$$

Step by step solution

01

Integrate using Partial Fraction Decomposition

The first step is to decompose the rational function (fraction) given into simpler fractions (partial fractions) in order to make the integration process easier. So we write: $$\frac{20x}{(x-1)(x^2+4x+5)}=\frac{A}{x-1}+\frac{Bx+C}{x^2+4x+5}$$ Now we need to determine the constants A, B, and C.
02

Obtain A, B, and C

To determine the constants A, B, and C, we multiply both sides of the equation by the common denominator \((x-1)(x^2+4x+5)\): $$20x = A(x^2+4x+5) + (Bx+C)(x-1)$$ Now, we can obtain A, B, and C by substituting different values for x that give us simpler equations to solve for the constants. For example, by setting x=1, we get: $$20 = 5A \Rightarrow A=4$$ Now, we need to find B and C so we can evaluate at some values or compare coefficients: $$20x = 4(x^2+4x+5) + (Bx+C)(x-1)$$ Expanding and comparing coefficients: $$20x = 4x^2+16x+20 + (Bx+C)x - (Bx+C)$$ $$20x = 4x^2+(16+B)x + (20-C)$$ Now, comparing coefficients, we have: $$4=16+B \Rightarrow B=-12$$ $$20=20-C \Rightarrow C=0$$ So, our partial fraction decomposition is: $$\frac{20x}{(x-1)(x^2+4x+5)}=\frac{4}{x-1}+\frac{-12x}{x^2+4x+5}$$
03

Integrate the Partial Fractions

Now, we need to integrate the decomposed integral: $$\int \frac{20 x}{(x-1)\left(x^{2}+4 x+5\right)} d x = \int \frac{4}{x-1}dx -12\int\frac{x}{x^2+4x+5} dx$$ The first integral is a simple natural logarithm, whereas for the second integral, we may use u-substitution. First integral: $$\int \frac{4}{x-1}dx = 4\int\frac{1}{x-1}dx=4ln|x-1|+C_1$$ Now the second integral, there is a u-substitution we can make. Let \(u=x^2+4x+5 \Rightarrow du=(2x+4)dx\). The second integral becomes: $$-12\int\frac{x}{x^2+4x+5} dx=-6\int\frac{2x+4-4}{u}du$$ $$-6\int\frac{2x+4-4}{u}du=-6\int\frac{du}{u}=-6ln|u|+C_2$$ Now, we can substitute back in for u: $$-6ln|x^2+4x+5|+C_2$$
04

Combine the Results

Finally, we can combine the results: $$\int \frac{20 x}{(x-1)\left(x^{2}+4 x+5\right)} d x = 4ln|x-1| - 6ln|x^2+4x+5|+C$$ This is the final solution to the given integral.

Use the indicated substitution to convert the given integral to an integral of a rational function. Evaluate the resulting integral. $$\int \frac{d x}{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt[3]{x}} ; x=u^{6}$$

Imagine that today you deposit \(\$ B\) in a savings account that earns interest at a rate of \(p \%\) per year compounded continuously. The goal is to draw an income of \(\$ I\) per year from the account forever. The amount of money that must be deposited is \(B=I \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-n t} d t,\) where \(r=p / 100 .\) Suppose you find an account that earns \(12 \%\) interest annully and you wish to have an income from the account of \(\$ 5000\) per year. How much must you deposit today?

Use the indicated substitution to convert the given integral to an integral of a rational function. Evaluate the resulting integral. $$\int \frac{d x}{\sqrt[4]{x+2}+1} ; x+2=u^{4}$$

An integrand with trigonometric functions in the numerator and denominator can often be converted to a rational integrand using the substitution \(u=\tan (x / 2)\) or \(x=2 \tan ^{-1} u .\) The following relations are used in making this change of variables. $$A: d x=\frac{2}{1+u^{2}} d u \quad B: \sin x=\frac{2 u}{1+u^{2}} \quad C: \cos x=\frac{1-u^{2}}{1+u^{2}}$$ Verify relation \(A\) by differentiating \(x=2 \tan ^{-1} u\). Verify relations \(B\) and \(C\) using a right-triangle diagram and the double-angle formulas $$\sin x=2 \sin \left(\frac{x}{2}\right) \cos \left(\frac{x}{2}\right) \text { and } \cos x=2 \cos ^{2}\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)-1$$
