NCERT Class 12 Maths · Chapter 7 Integrals · Exercise 7.5 Question 5

Evaluate \(\int \frac{2 x}{x^{2} + 3 x + 2}\, dx\).

💡 Concept Hints

  1. Identify the domain and the inner and outer functions, or the relevant one-sided limits.
  2. Apply the appropriate differentiation or limit rule, keep all chain factors, and check exceptional points.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: \(- 2 \log{\left(\left|{x + 1}\right| \right)} + 4 \log{\left(\left|{x + 2}\right| \right)}\) + C.
  1. Work on each open interval where the original integrand is real and defined.
  2. Factor the denominator, perform polynomial division if needed, and solve for the partial-fraction coefficients.
  3. The integrand rewrites as \(\frac{4}{x + 2} - \frac{2}{x + 1}\). Apply ∫xᵖdx=x^(p+1)/(p+1) for p≠−1, ∫dx/x=log|x|, and the elementary exponential/trigonometric rules.
  4. An antiderivative is F(x)=\(- 2 \log{\left(\left|{x + 1}\right| \right)} + 4 \log{\left(\left|{x + 2}\right| \right)}\).
  5. Differentiate this expression to check that F′(x)=\(\frac{2 x}{x^{2} + 3 x + 2}\). Add an arbitrary constant C on each domain component.
