How do you integrate int (x+5)/((x+3)(x-7)(x-5)) x+5(x+3)(x7)(x5) using partial fractions?

1 Answer

int (x+5)/((x+3)(x-7)(x-5)x+5(x+3)(x7)(x5) dxdx

= 1/40*ln(x+3)+3/5*ln(x-7)-5/8*ln(x-5) + K=140ln(x+3)+35ln(x7)58ln(x5)+K

for a definite integral, a constant K must be added.

Explanation:

from the given int (x+5)/((x+3)(x-7)(x-5))x+5(x+3)(x7)(x5) dxdx =

intA/(x+3)Ax+3dxdx + B/(x-7)Bx7dxdx + C/(x-5)Cx5*dxdx

our equation becomes

(x+5)/((x+3)(x-7)(x-5)x+5(x+3)(x7)(x5)= A/(x+3)+B/(x-7)+C/(x-5)Ax+3+Bx7+Cx5

it follows;

(x+5)/((x+3)(x-7)(x-5)x+5(x+3)(x7)(x5)=

(A(x-7)(x-5)+B(x+3)(x-5)+C(x+3)(x-5))/((x+3)(x-5)(x-7))A(x7)(x5)+B(x+3)(x5)+C(x+3)(x5)(x+3)(x5)(x7)

by using only the numerators;

x+5=A(x^2-12x+35)+B(x^2-2x-15)+C(x^2-4x-21) x+5=A(x212x+35)+B(x22x15)+C(x24x21)

collecting the like terms

x+5=(A+B+C)x^2+(-12A-2B-4C)x+(35A-15B-21C)x+5=(A+B+C)x2+(12A2B4C)x+(35A15B21C)

because the left side of the equation means

0*x^2+1*x+50x2+1x+5

and the right side means

(A+B+C)x^2+(-12A-2B-4C)x+(35A-15B-21C)(A+B+C)x2+(12A2B4C)x+(35A15B21C)

the equations are now formed;

A+B+C =0A+B+C=0 first equation

-12A-2B-4C=112A2B4C=1 second equation

35A-15B-21C=535A15B21C=5 third equation

using your skills in solving 3 equations with 3 unknowns A, B, C

the values are A=1/40A=140, B=3/5B=35, and C=-5/8C=58

Now, go back to the first line of the explanation to do the integration procedures.

intA/(x+3)Ax+3dxdx + B/(x-7)Bx7dxdx + C/(x-5)Cx5*dxdx

=int(1/40)/(x+3)=140x+3dxdx + int (3/5)/(x-7)35x7dxdx + int (-5/8)/(x-5)58x5dxdx

final answer becomes

int (x+5)/((x+3)(x-7)(x-5)x+5(x+3)(x7)(x5) dxdx

= 1/40*ln(x+3)+3/5*ln(x-7)-5/8*ln(x-5) + K=140ln(x+3)+35ln(x7)58ln(x5)+K

for a definite integral, a constant K must be added.
